I do not want to try them unless I find someone who has used them and had success.. I hate pills!!

Don't ewe think the doctor knows better than another patients opinion karen mam ?

[Zwitterion]

Zwitty !!...me bets ewe did not make that appointment eh ?

O.K i confess i didnt...i did try ringing three times and once they didnt pick up and the other 2 it was engaged!!...and i gave up then!!

i just dont want to go again and find that they cant do anything for me and have another failed attempt at trying to sort it out!!...i know i shouldnt think like that but cant help it...and your right about playing up your symptoms but i just cant u know...i have found a sleep clinic locally so i will ask my doc to refer me to them...

i wouldnt be too sure...the docs ive spoken to dont have a clue about insomnia in general and just assume your stressed or depressed....even tho ive told them im not...

I know the Doctor is a good person, but I also know that they support drug companies and they support the doctors, so for my sanity and well being, I prefer to know about actual cases where I can hear about the resuts and know what to expect.. All he said was it was new and we should start it right away.. I had to look it up To find out more about it!! But I was hoping to find kind of first hand information about it... so There!!!! LOL You know Neil how it makes you feel the day after or for several days.. It is non addictive which is good, as I tend to have an addictive personality.. LOL so I need to be careful with what I put into this old rickety castle ov mine, I don't want to find my walls crumbling around me feet!

me is a very cynical sheep !!..but I would give my doctor the benefit of doubt !!..after all...he is a doctor !!....It's just that in this case...if Karens doctor is aware of this new drug then he must have done a little bit of research into it.......but I do understand your doubts.

Oh boy !!..the politics of doctors and drug companies.....

Karen Mam....is this a drug that you would have to pay top dollar for ?....over here....we just pay a flat prescription fee for each drug.

I know in the states there is no national Health system but does insurance cover the costs of prescriptions ?...and if you don't have insurance then how much is this drug gonna cost you ?

[Karen W.]

I do not know.. I have insurance for the time being so it is usually a about 2o. oo for my other perscriptions x 9 and they vary depending on how much they are. So it will be about $180.00 plus the new one! I do not know how much, I have the prescription and need to go have it filled... but I am leary..I have no idea till I go what this one will cost.. I cringe at the thought!

[Zwitterion]

Having another crap night....help!!!!.....and work in 4 and half hrs!! (

[Karen W.]

MAn am so sorry.. I wish I could throw this perscription at you...What time are you right now? I am 7:54 Pm.

[neilep]

JAMES BLUNT LYRICS

"You're Beautiful"

My life is brilliant.

My life is brilliant.
My love is pure.
I saw an angel.
Of that I'm sure.
She smiled at me on the subway.
She was with another man.
But I won't lose no sleep on that,
'Cause I've got a plan.

You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw your face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be with you.

Yeah, she caught my eye,
As we walked on by.
She could see from my face that I was,
Flying high, [ - video/radio edited version]
******* high, [ - CD version]
And I don't think that I'll see her again,
But we shared a moment that will last till the end.

You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw your face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be with you.

You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
There must be an angel with a smile on her face,
When she thought up that I should be with you.
But it's time to face the truth,
I will never be with you.

*le sigh*...poor Zwitty !!!.................what about a good old fashioned glass of hot milk ?...perhaps with a tad of nutmeg !

Actually....if I knew what to do to get to sleep...well...I wouldn't be here would I ?..LOL


Zwitty.....what do you normally do ?...............what I do know is that you must get this sorted....and soon...it is clear and evident that you are suffering here..........it still might take a while but if you start the process then you'll feel better that you are finally tackling the problem.....It might even help you sleep...if you know what I mean !!

[neilep]

Lovely words Karen...That's a great song...it did well over here.
