: I have taken valium to help me sleep for almost 7 years now. I'd like to get away from it altogether to see if it would help my "blues". What do some of the rest of you do for sleeplessness and temporary bouts of anxiety? One friend suggested experimenting with other drugs, so I'd like to know what some of the rest of you do to manage this. Thanks!
I take benadryl (actually a generic form from Walmart) frequently to help me sleep. One or two 25 mg tablets do the job. If I take two, I can feel a little sluggish in the morning, but coffee then usually helps. Not supposed to be addicting. Good luck!
