Default I can't sleep

It seems every couple of weeks I go thru bouts where I can't seem to get off to sleep. Here I am drinking benadryl in hopes that it will knock me out LOL! Man am I tired! *yawns*

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

I took the Benadryl tongue melt aways after I got out of the hospital and it knocked me out for hours!! There must have been something in the air last night, because I just laid there for hours it seemed.

With my change to 3rd shift I used Excedrin pm plus I've used melatonin for YEARS now to GET to sleep..it's not great on keeping you asleep but to GET to sleep..awesome, the dissolve under the tongue is best.

benedryl makes me very very dehydrated and depressed so I don't take it unless I am in anaphylactic shock from latex exposure!

HI guys. I use benadryl often as well to sleep. Just a little sidenote the tylenol pm, motrin pm and excedrine pm all contain benadrly added to their pain medication. Thats where the PM comes in. It is the ingredient that knocks you out.

I have never slept well post op. Wake often. I fall alseep with no problem but then wake like 4 hours later and fight to go back down.

Hope you were able to rest a little.
