I’m so sorry to hear you can’t get something you need, KYGrandma. :-(
If you haven’t yet tried any, I have taken herbs like chamomile, hops, valerian root, lemon balm, or St. John’s Wort for calming stress and to help me sleep.
I know that some have interactions (lemon balm with thyroid) so please look them up, but they have helped me a lot. The valerian root causes me to sleep well, but sometimes it causes more dreams, just not bad ones.
I also have tried melatonin and benadryl in a pinch.
Thanks for the info. I do try to have camomile and lavender tea in the evening and it does help me go to sleep. But I can’t stay asleep. One of the bad thiings about fibromyalgia. Pain keeps you up and no sleep makes the pain worse. Not sure what I would do without my medications.
