I’ve done my best to not take anything but after a year of not sleeping well, sadly it’s either that or be non-functional for my family. I’ve tried researching for better options and my doctor offered me amitriptyline and gabapentin, which I thankfully denied in hindsight. I kind of see it as the lesser of all evils at the moment, especially since I’m not even taking half a dose. Maybe it’s different for me because I’ve had to use it my pregnancies as part of the B6/Unisom protocol for morning sickness, so I’m less sensitized to it. I’m so discouraged as I’ve done all the recommended things: magnesium, earplugs, sleep hygiene, blackout curtains, not eating/drinking for hours before bed, no caffeine or high amounts of sugar. There is literally nothing else to try.
Do you think the Unisom will keep me from healing? I ask because my husband and I are unsure that we’re done having children. When I’m pregnant, I typically take multiple nausea meds that aren't recommended for people in withdrawal, yet I can’t wait years and years for complete healing. Trying to figure if this chapter is closed for good in my life has been heartbreaking. I understand that you, as well as many others don’t have every answer, but I’d love your opinion, Chippy.
