cbtvet Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 (edited) i can only tell you what has worked for me. cut out the booze . it puts you to sleep but don't allow you good sleep . i drank every night for 25 years . when i got on some mild drugs wellbutrin, propranol, prazosin, trazodone, buspirone, etc. i was able to quit drinking completely. i,m now sleeping better than i have in 40 years. remember how good we have it . 41 years ago today i was on my way to vietnam. our sister flight crashed in alaska the the next day. thinking of them and their familes.

SP4RVN1971 Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Sleep is tuff word! I lost it long ago and fought for it with drug's and drinking. There was always something I had that pulled me threw that terrible time for 40 something years. My Mother, but then I found out, it was God. I still fight a lot of demon's, But I "always" will have that light! Of coarse I have a beautiful Wife that support's me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wake up in a cold sweat, I get up walk around in the house and check all the doors to make sure they are locked and calm down and I go back to bed and toss and turn till I fall back off. I will have this about 3-4 times a month. I have been to the MH @the VA and in group session and waiting to see the big head doctor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justrluk Posted November 28, 2011 Author Share Posted November 28, 2011 Thanks all, again. Reading your posts have been most helpful today. I just spoke with my wife; said she got very little sleep last night. I got up twice with bouts of cramping, etc. Not a good night. I've got to figure out how to get this to work right.
