One good thing from my appointment today

After I had my nap at my therapy appointment I did ask him if he could give me something to help me sleep

He said oh your having a hard time sleeping I couldn't tell

My doctor has jokes

I told him about how I haven't slept in days. That my normal pill weren't helping. I am so stressed right now I can't stop my mind. I can't relax. I can't stop thinking about everything.

So he give me a prescription for 7 Temazepams. He said they are very strong and this isn't something he wants me to take long term. Just enough to get me though this week.

So I just took one and if these doesn't help me sleep I don't know what to do

Seven? Wow. I love the way these doctors just fork out any type of medication that only treat the symptoms and don't get to the root of the problem. 🙄 I found these sleep gummies from Walmart that work well. I don't think the doctor should be mixing up all kinds of different medications because some of those don't mix well and they might even cause insomnia. But anyway, I found this product called Natrol which is 100% drug free and works very well. And it has 10 mg of melatonin. You might try that. It says on the bottle, fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer and wake up refreshed and that's exactly what it does. There's 60 gummies and it's strawberry flavor and they are delicious. Also, have you gotten your B6 supplements yet? I believe those would help you a great deal and be sure and take your b vitamins especially B12 sublingual where you melt these cherry flavored little pills under your tongue and they're very good. They help with nerves and everything else. And they taste great. Please get some and try them you'll see a huge difference. They'll do a lot more for you than drugs which I know you can't help but take but these would help your nerves super good if you will take them and take them faithfully. They can't hurt. When I was grieving one time over losing someone, I can't tell you what a godsend they were.

@LadyGrace like I said these sleeping pills are only temporary he is just trying to get me through this week. I'm just very stressed in my OCD is out of control right now because of us selling the house packing and trying to get everything clean. Those pills are not something he wants to keep me on full time because they are very addictive and they have some side effects. I have not tried the sleeping gummies you have suggested yet I honestly kind of forgot about them with our vacation and everything going on I will look into him this weekend but I did get something you suggested :-)

@Cigarguy101 That's good but not as good as getting the sublingual B12 by themselves at Walmart. They really are a lifesaver. Make sure you get the right kind though. Ask the pharmacist to help you find them. Sublingual B12 that melt under the tongue and cherry flavor. I think you'll see a great difference in your mood and nerves, honestly.

@LadyGrace I don't really shop at Walmart much. I found these on Amazon.

@Cigarguy101 well then find them on Amazon. You wouldn't shop at Walmart just so you can get something special to help you? Amazon should have the same thing. Hopefully!

@LadyGrace honestly no I probably wouldn't go into Walmart just to get them. I don't do well in stores but I'll check on Amazon to see.
