Over the past 15 years I have tried almost 70 different ‘solutions’ in a bid to get on top of my insomnia. Yes, you read that correctly.
Temazepam. Zopiclone. Zolpidem. Amitriptyline. Beta blockers. Antihistamines. Progesterone.
I procured tramadol and oxycodone (opiate painkillers) from my beloved mum’s supplies.
Many pills didn’t work, some did. But I was scared to take drugs permanently, and every time I stopped I stayed awake.
Natural sleeping aids? Don’t get me started. From Bach Flower Remedies
