Would really appreciate some advice here I really don't what to do next...
Have been struggling to sleep for on and off two months now. This has set off some pretty horrific anxiety too. GP prescribed amitriptyline 50mg for night time with some success but some nights I can still lie awake all night....I can be relaxed and comfortable but the switch won't go. Some nights I take zopiclone too but still no sleep.
Traditionally I'm not a bad sleeper getting about 7 to 8 hours until recently (so I'm not a insomniac historically) and never been through this before it's driving me mad and I really don't know what to do.
GP wants me to go on to lustral 50mg for longer term anxiety but worried this will makes things worse in the meantime.
Only two weeks ago I was sleeping soundly again on just amitriptyline and back to normal but now I'm right back to square one.
Would really like some advice from fellow sufferers.....
