I take ambien for sleeping meds, but don't think its working anymore, so I have been adding OTC sleeping pills with the ambien but still only getting 4 hours if I am lucky.

Hi Kimmi,
Sorry to hear you're not feeling very good. And that you can't sleep. I
know it can get so busy around Christmas and New Year, so much to do,
and if you're not feeling well and in a lot of pain it is so much
harder.
I know what it's like not being able to sleep - I haven't been sleeping
very much lately either - instead I try to just lie there with my eyes
closed and just think to myself that if I can't sleep I'll at least
rest. I think I'm making some kind of progress, as I used to get very
upset about it - but these days I no longer get upset - John snores very
loudly - so I put cotton balls in my ears!
I've been having some very bad headaches all weekend. Nothing I've
tried has worked, if I don't make any sudden movements and just lie
still it's not too nad, but if I get up or bend over all the blood
rushes to my head and the pounding gets worse. Oh well, hopefully I'll
be feeling better tomorrow!.
Hope you feel better soon too.
Love,
