What sleep medication do you use? Are you using masking to sleep?

@Strawberryblonde Amtriptiline 50mg. Usually works for me but for some reason last night it didn't.

@SarahMLFlemmer same here I tossed and turned all night. I took trazadone in college and it always worked for me. Started taking it again since I've gotten T but it's not working too good.

I take 10mg of Ambien .5 Xanax try think pleasant thoughts. 95% of the time I fall asleep in minutes.
SarahMLFlemmer
@Ken219 maybe I'll ask for Ambien. Thanks!
Ryan Scott
@Ken219 I will probably end up taking a valium tonight with my sleep meds. I hate taking valium, but I think not sleeping is worse than the medicine.

@Ryan Scott yeah, I have Melatonin and can try some sleepy time tea, but if the Amtriptiline or Xanax can't knock me out, I don't know what will. I never had a sleeping problem before T.

@SarahMLFlemmer I used to take 10mg then tapered up to 25mg and it never helped me sleep. Your milage may vary when it comes to different drugs.

I used to take mirtazapine(remeron) years ago but it didn't help the depression just made me fat lol @SarahMLFlemmer the last antidepressant I took was amitriptyline:)

@Strawberryblonde Are you only using sound at night? I am on Amtriptiline for sleep. Is there anything you might suggest that isn't ototoxic?
