Tracy, your Dr. sounds dang nuts not givin ya somethin to sleep, specially it they advocate puttin ya somewheres they will be wantin to give ya nuthin BUT drugs ( hope I'm wrong here and there could be some positive benefits to a vacation from your stresses and strains, Sharon's advice could apply to this)
I'm thinkin ya had a prollem with the knock-out drops with Dr. H , lotsa that stuff is of the valium family, I personally can't take that sh poop, but way back when anxiety was a issue, someone gave me Xanax (alprazolam) for panic attacks, I sure didn't like the underwater feelin it gave me but I found it to be one heck of a sleepin aid, and one that has a fast entrance an exit from the system, which is why so few docs prescribe it now,, they prefer people to be monged out for longer with panic disorder. In fact, it ain't a NHS prescription drug, but y'all can get it prescribed and pay for it, not expensive neither. It needs to be the higher dosage ones, I usta have the 500 microgram ones and start with a half.
I am Mr Natural about almost EVERTHING but sleep deprivation, I ain't a doctor (a course not) but this is somethin thats gotta be dealt with.Ya need a break.
Best a luck, ya got a lotta people carin for ya.
