Suggest Treatment For Insomnia

In the past, I have taken a homeopathic combination product to wind down in order to sleep better. One of the main benefits was that it stilled my mind so that I wasn t bombarded with thoughts while trying to sleep. I recently was prescribed an antidepressant that is causing me to lose my train of thought and have too many thoughts at once, making it difficult to function. As I look at the ingredients of this product, I m trying to discern which ingredient will help my mind to focus without making me sleepy. Ingredients: Chamomilla, coffea cruda, humulus lupulus, ignatia amara, moshcus, nux vomica, passiflora incarnata, sulphur, valeriana officinalis, veratrum album.

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hi,

Well, insomnia may be difficult to treat, but there are some methods which can be used.

Treatment options include behavior and lifestyle changes, medicines, and complementary medicines.

You need to change your dietary habits and these include changing your sleep area or schedule, watching what and when you eat and drink, and being more active.

It's also important to keep regular bedtimes and wake times-7 days a week-and to try to avoid taking naps during the day. Prescription sleep medicines may also help and include diazepam and similar medications.

Melatonin is a supplement which may be of help as well. In severe cases, special testing is needed.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Ivan R. Rommstein, General Surgeon
