How many hours of sleep did you get last night?

When I get the combination with Melatonin right, I have lovely, peaceful sleep; unlike the dozing and vague awareness of the room around me and night sounds like I've been having. My doc has done all he can with my prescription meds, so I thought I'd give Melatonin a try.

Does anyone else take Melatonin along with Ambien and/or Klonopin or any other sleeping or anti-anxiety meds? I'd be really interested in your experience and results.

I am on tizanidine ( a muscle relaxer) 2 tabs at night, as my rheumo says if your muscles can't relax, your body can't. I do NOT do any social media the last 3 hrs prior to sleep!

I do a puzzle game! I have taken to taking my Tizanidine, a 25 mg Diphenhydramine (Benadryl), and my pain med (Dilaudid for severe pain) & Tramaol for less severe pain! It has worked. I was just "dozing" then awake for a few hours, dozing......I am not much help on your own regimen, but the Melatonin BiLayer works well for me. It has some benadryl in it, is a 5 mg tabs. Best of luck!!
