I have been discussing some sleep aids in chat. I'm still waiting for supps etc. In the meantime I asked my doc about an over the counter sleep aid called 'Restavit' (doxylamine succinate). I was taking 1/4 of a 25mg tablet after 1 glass of wine and would usually be asleep before end of 2nd glass. My Doc told me not to do that as it has a trippling effect (ie: 1glass + restavit = 3glasses) on the liver. So I stopped. Since then have found Allie who was doing something similar with 'Lunesta' which is prescription. We both thought we had found something good so it was dissappointing when I looked up lunesta website and found they say no to alchol too. In the meantime while waiting for doc appt.. I've gone back to my 1/4 restavit method because I still think it's better than 7-8 glasses of wine. I am trying to stick to a diet to heal 'leaky-gut' while I'm waiting for supps so really want to cut back on wine & the restavit seems to help. It also prevents me from wanting to go out & buy more (when I get agitated cause I can't sleep). Do you have any advice/comments for us? Thank you very much for your previous replies.
Best Wishes,
MFM
