Sleep Problems and Anxiety: What Has Your Doctor Prescribed?

Yes. I was prescribed Xanax for anxiety. I am already on Tramadol for insomnia.

My Dr gave me Ambien but I’ll stick to taking alprazolam at night, the Ambien didn’t do it for me.

Bonnie p. Are you on an aromatase inhibitor like arimedex or letrozole?

No they just recently prescribed Ambien which hardly keeps me asleep

My doctor told me I can take melatonin gummies. It helped.

Aromatase inhibitors cause moods swings, night sweats, and sleeplessness. I take effexor and ambien at bed time.

Ambien has been very helpful for me!

I used 1/2 of a medical marijuana gummy(legal in my state) and slept like a baby. I have been having difficulties sleeping since even before my diagnosis like my body knew before me.

Yeah I can’t sleep all night

I was told by my oncologist yesterday to take Benadryl ( or generic ).

The Tylenol PM has helped me sleep longer at night .

Effexor helped my anxiety & depression.

Unisom works great for me.

Ambien cr works for me

Im on Tamoxifen for a month. Prescribed Ambien 5 mg not helping with insomnia. Tried Melatoni gummies too.
