The big question: if you take your Ambien (10 mg, I assume), are you getting satisfactory sleep?

My dr will only give me 14 Ambien per month so that is why I take the restoril on the other nights. My problem is both. I can't fall asleep and if I do, I wake up quickly. I can sleep about 6 hours with these medications.

Oh yeah, the attorney boss of mine has her husband working in the office too. He is the "office manager" I know which one wears the pants in that family.

Ambien doesn't work for me, it barely puts me to sleep and within 2 hours I am up again-wide awake. I have trouble staying asleep. We tried lunesta, but it left a horrible medicine taste in my mouth that lingered well into the next day-but it did work. I was going to ask about ambien cr, then found out I was pregnant.

My sister said her rehab sprinkled the sleep time baby powder on their sheets at night, she said it really helps. I keep meaning to get some.

One thing that doesn't help is being at a computer screen.. the emissions from computers trigger your brain to be awake.

As do LED displays on clocks (according to some research).

If you're really desperate, Docs usually approve the antihistimine - type sleep meds (but, IMO, they suck.....they tend to stay in your system around 4X longer than Ambien / Lunesta) for preggos. Unfortunately, when you're pregnant, a hormonal war is being fought within your body....and that usually translates to trouble sleeping (and I haven't even dipped into the physical uncomforts that come with the latter months of pregnancy). So......good luck with that.

So, hmm, perhaps I shouldn't sleep with my Blackberry???

I tried Lunesta too. It didn't work at all and gave me that horrible taste in my mouth too.

[Daisalana 33]

I couldn't take that taste, it was so bizarre.

And plain, yeah they said I can take benadryl or unisom..which I found out recently is THE EXACT SAME THING. How interesting is that.. Unisom is 2x dose than benadryl..and they recommend unisom for nausea with pregnancy..

Oddly enough,my insomnia is actually curing itself with pregnancy heh.

I'm so tired all the time..

With my back out right now, I do 'try' to toss and turn all night.. lot of moaning and inching my way around. Due to the meds they have me on though, I am able to sleep through the pain for hours at a time.

I did just get my pregnancy bed pillow today (curled up in it now).. it's verra verra nice.

[Oregondaisy 2,020]

There is another unisom that has a different ingredient in it than the benadryl one. It used to work very well for me, but not anymore.

[Daisalana 33]

Oh really? I've always used Unisom maximum strength, which is diphenhydramine HCI..my benadryl packet says the same thing.
