I am struggling with titrating off valium at night time. I am having my usual delayed sleep pattern where I lay there until 3 amd and then cant get up until 10 am.
My dr has said to try malatonin. The malatonin is sublingual. When I take 5 mg 30 minutes before bed, i still cannot sleep and i get vivid dreams. When I double the dose i seem to get a better result and am asleep in about an hour, but i get terrible nightmares- will this symptom go away?
Also has anyone any idea about whether i should take the melatonin a lot earier at night - I read somewhere that for autistic children wth this sme problem they take the melatonin at about 8 pm.
I would be interested in how others deal with this sleep problem without resorting to drugs , as i am trying to come off pharmaceticals
thanks, Suznne
