Insomnia in early recovery is very common. By the way what was your DOC and how long have you been clean?

Also, just look at all the drugs you have taken, OTC or prescription:

Quote:
valerian root, melatonin, advil pm, tylenol pm, trazadone, buspar and lunesta
When you got prescriptions for these, did you tell your Dr you are in recent recovery? At least 2 of the drugs you mentioned can have nasty side effects including insomnia.

If you haven't already, you need to talk to your Dr and be completely honest about your drug history, illegal or otherwise, as well as any OTC substances you are taking.

Personally, I'd take nothing. You'll start sleeping soon enough.
