PLEASE HELP: Can't sleep

Hi All -

I need some help and prayers - I'm so miserable. I can't sleep. I've been taking 2 mg Lunesta, along with 400 mg Theanine, 800 mg GABA, and 200 mg P5P (a  B vitamin) at dinner and at bedtime. But nothing helps. I can't sleep for more than 2 hours. I started taking Avena Sativa and Hops last night at dinner and before bed for the panic attacks in the middle of the night - and THANKFULLY that worked - but I still can't sleep.

Am I doing something wrong with detoxing? I've been brushing my skin in the morning and before bed. I went to the gym for 30 mins yesterday, thinking that would help.

What has worked for you if you can't sleep - I'm so miserable and feel like I'm losing it today. :(

Please help.

Julie

DO you have a LLMD that can prescribe something?
I had severe insomnia when I first got ill for a couple of months. I literally started to become delirious and almost admitted myself to the psych ward because of it, no joke. I also woke up w/ what felt like panic attacks.
The only thing that helped me initially was Clonazepam that my PCP prescribed. This was before I knew I had Lyme.
The, I went on Lamictal for migraine prevention (I later found out that my neuro. put me on it as a mood stabilizer but didn't tell me). For whatever reason, that helped normalize my sleep.
I did try Benadryl. That didn't help me at the time when insomnia was severe, but does help me on the rare occasion that I have insomnia now due to neuro. symptoms.
I tried natural routes-melatonin, sleepy teas. That just made it worse for some reason.
Anyway, you might need something stronger right now to get sleep. After it normalizes, something less strong and natural might work.

Julie, I hope you slept well last night. I realize this sounds odd but I started jerking again when trying to fall asleep so I took keflex (which despite that all my lyme symptoms came out taking keflex, I know that it normalized my B12 levels.) I also took it right after I took a B vitamin so its possible that just the B vitamin worked but I've been taking it for days and it hasn't. This is an interesting observation though. Have you gone to your LLMD yet?
