(I just edited this because I;d typed Exc. AM instead of PM!)
I was reading the CFS doctors' recommendations for sleep drugs. I'm interested in prolonging sleep, because I invariably wake up within 5 hours and then it's toss and turn and misery and some dozing, but whatever it is not 8 hours of acceptable sleep. I noticed that aside from the main recommendations one doctor swears by Excedrin PM and Tylenol PM. What he doesn't say is whether it's for sleep onset or sleep prolonging. Anyone know? anyone try them?
And what have you used for prolonging sleep? Given that everyone reacts differently, I wont' assume it'll work for me). What side-effects? The most-mentioned drug for this was Trazadone. I can't talk to my doc for a couple of weeks though, but it may be something I'd like to try. Anyone use this?
Thanks you all.
