    Are we lost sisters? I misplace everything and have forever. I am on Lyrica as I had a bad reaction to gabapentin , but it isn't working. PAIN constant and now I have side effects from the LYRICA. I am suppose to be going on suboxone to get me of Lyrica and pain. I was able to sleep great for years 2 benadryls before bed and out until the alarm. then doctor put me on ambien put me to sleep but in my sleep I was cleaning my kitchen ,folding socks. My husband would return me to bed. Now my GP put me on something it takes 2 usually to put me out but now I am on a cpcp machine so that is some adjustment.

      Oh I am sorry I have heard of that happening. There are many natural sleep aides that help. As mentioned earlier melitonin is a good one. Some herbal ones are Valirine Root, Camomile and passion flower they help promote calmness and even come in teas. I hope this helps. But make sure you ask your Dr if Valerine and Passionflower are safe for you to take with your meds. Best of luck to you.
