I notice that I have insomnia which is something that I have never dealt with before and it is making it hard for me to go to sleep. I have heard that Sleeping pills are bad because they make the body dependent on them later on but I feel like I have a hard time going to sleep.

Chosen Answer:

benadryl (diphenhydramine) is a great drug to help you sleep. It is sold over the counter (OTC) in most pharmacies. The best part is that it is non-habit forming, so your body will not get dependent on it.

Another drug to try is melatonin. Melatonin is a naturally occurring hormone in the body. Taking it medicinally can help with insomnia. Do not take melatonin if you have high blood pressure (can raise BP), diabetes (can raise blood sugar), depression (can make symptoms worse), or a seizure disorder (can potentiate seizures)

One more option could be Valerian root extract. This has been shown to help treat insomnia. Do not drink alcohol with this drug, or other CNS depressants because they could increase each others effect in the body

what are some treatments of insomnia besides sleep aids?

Sleeping Disorders aids, ambient, besides, brain, brainwave, chosen, clinic, crushing, didn, entrainment, give, herbs, insomnia, lull, medications, music, pills, producing, sleep, term, thinking, tracks, treatments, uses, years Add Comment (6)

I have already taken all the sleep medications there is. Im thinking of a sleep clinic but I heard if you have insomnia they just give you a sleep aid.

Chosen Answer:

You should try brainwave entrainment. I had long-term, crushing insomnia for years and tried all the pills and herbs but they just didn’t fix it. Brainwave entrainment uses ambient music tracks to lull your brain into producing the right brainwaves for sleep. People are right when they say you should change your lifestyle and this is part of that, because using it for a while ‘re-trains’ your brain. At this point your brain is probably conditioned not to fall asleep, so you’ll have to recondition it.

There are reviews for several options for this-one of them free-at the blog listed below.

Anxiety Treatment anxiety, calm, chosen, depression, diagnosed, didn, difference, doctor, experience, health, herbal, herbs, information, insurance, knowledge, kratom, looking, moderate, natural, notice, preferably, remedies, suffer, wart, wild Add Comment (16)

I am without health insurance, and suffer from moderate anxiety/depression (diagnosed by my doctor) and am looking for information on herbal or natural remedies to help calm my anxiety. I have tried st. johns wart more than once, and didn’t notice any difference, and I am looking for other herbs and such that might help, preferably with knowledge from experience.

Chosen Answer:

1) Wild Kratom (strongest and best, guaranteed to work for EVERYONE)

2) Kava-Kava (works for most, not for everyone and NO it is NOT toxic, that study was debunked and Kava is now approved by the FDA)

3) St John’s Worth (works for few, not for most)

4) Salvia (works for everyone, except it’s very tricky, as at higher doses it can cause hallucinations for up to 10 mins)

5) Marijuana (only resort to it if it’s legal in your State)
