What Causes Sleeplessness Despite Taking Anti-anxiety Drugs?
I am 49 yr old and recently I had a hard time sleeping. The most hour I slept is 5-6 hrs but horrible two nights ago, I slept only 2 hrs and had to go to work and last night I slept only 4 hours and I had to call off to work. I am taking lisonopril 5 mg a day. My primary doctor prescribed me anxiety pill and lunes ta for sleeping but it did not work good..
My advice to you is first of all stop all medicines which you are taking for lack of sleep. Because i personally feel you are very anxious due to some reason . It is the anxiety, worry which do not let us sleep. Try to find out what is making you so anxious. Try to avoid such things. And the best solution is make yourself so busy throughout the day so much that the moment u go to bed u don't have to think about sleep, u will be in deep sleep already in 5- 10 mins. Good luck.
