klonopin for about 2 years became immune to it and now

it doesnt work, my doc put me on amien to sleep and

now im having crazy dreams and i dont seem to be rested.

if i dont sleep my lyme disease gets the best of me,

i do not know what to do, it seems that my anxiety

meds dont seem to work either.

does anyone take a natural sleep aid that helps for

sleep and anxiety? maybe a combo of herbs? i have

always had trouble with sleep and i cant seem to get

a handle on it. does anyone have any advice for me

on what to do? i know that alot of people with lyme have

difficulty sleeping and i seem to be one of them,

anyway, will be waiting for some much needed

advice from people, thank u, thelma

This is a hard subject because many things work for some and not for others..I hope you get some relief soon. Sleep is SO important for healing and well being.

do u get it at a natural food store? sometimes benadryl

helps, and sometimes melatonin helps but neither one

helps by itself, thats where i run into the problem.

dont want to mix and match, not sure of what could happen.

I certainly don't want to go the route of sleep MEDS as they are TERRIBLE for you in so many ways. I'm not aware of any of the other supplements that might help...but I know regular relaxation type things help like warm baths.

Even mild exercise before bed about an hour or so before helps...and of course cutting caffeine out early in the day.

I'm with you though...some things work for me some times...

an article about gaba and it says it goes as hi as 18 mg, but i just went to vitacost and it has as high as 1000 mg, any particular brand that u use that u could suggest? i did a little research on it, would be worth trying, . thanks

There is a tea by Traditional Medicinals that helps with sleep too...its called nighty night...grocery stores carry it - and if vitacost has it, it will be a little cheaper...
