Sleep

Answer: Anti-depressants can help you sleep better. Please talk to your Dr. I take one tylenol p.m. (Equate P.M.) at night with a zanex & that seems to help. Sometimes I take a mucle relaxer(Baclofen or Flexeril) to help as well. Prozac has seretonin. St. Johns Wart is sold at discount stores to help with moods. =

Answer: please be careful Joni if you are taking anti-depressants eg venlafaxine (efexor), Prozac, xanax etc., as ST.John's wort reacts badly with these meds. I know as it happened to me accidently (due to lack of knowledge) and I could barely wake up for 2 days! Good luck. =

Answer: Thanks Charmaine for your input! I knew they shouldn't be mixed but forgot to mention that on my last paragraph. Always check with your Dr. or pharmacist when taking medicine, especially multiple precriptions & mixing herbal remedies or supplements. =

Answer: Try practicing Qigong (chi)gong. Once I started practicing Qigong I started to sleep better. Called Sheila @ Yonemoto Physical Therapy (626)576-0591. Its made a big difference in my life. I think everybody who has been diagnosed with Fibro should try Qigong. Good Luck =

Answer: Namaste Yoga does a lot to help me relax...by product is that if I do it faithfully some of joint and muscle pain fades. But I really notice a difference in how well I sleep when I faithfully do my routine. I also take a tylenol p.m. I also have GERD, and when I switched to taking my medicine for that at night, instead of in the morning, I noticed a big difference in the quality of sleep that I had too! =
