Can anyone help please?

Hi all! I am 10 weeks in and on 100mg. Feeling pretty good in the day but going to bed is a nightmare. Can’t sleep at all without sleeping tablets. Doctor has said now that I have to take one every other night. Finding it really hard, keep trying and failing. Getting worried now. Any advice please? X x x

    Hi Rachel, something that helped me, I got in to a set fourteen and went to bed at the same time every night, then read until I felt tired, I found that took my mind off my racing thoughts. Also to focus on my breathing or a happy image in my head, your brain can't do 2 things at one so if you make it do a good thing it can't do a bad thing. I have a happy place image which is me and my husband in a beach bar on our honeymoon. You have slept well before and no reason why you can't again, you just have to believe it, at the moment you 'think you can't sleep without medication but you can, and will xx
