I really admire your courage in going to the doctor. That is such a big step in admitting that you need help. I think so many of us want to do this on our own and we really need all types of support. We do not want to ask for help because that makes our problem to real.
I have found the CDs and the calms forte to be amazing. I know that some people find the CDs annoying but I just totally fall asleep in a deeply relaxed state. I was listening to the CDs two times a day in the beginning, but now just listen to them when needed to shut off the running thoughts in my head if I feel anxious. Personally, sleeping pills scare me because it is replacing one drug with another (I don't consider calms forte a drug - I can take it or leave it, it does not give me a hangover or other affects the next day.) and I want to be substance free. But that is me. I have know people who have utitlized sleeping pills for a short time and just gave them up. So, it is just my opinion. Do what you need to do to take care of yourself. My positive thoughts are with you.
