Triggering (Sexual Abuse) - I dont know what to do anymore
I am in really bad way at the moment and i am finding it impossible to sleep. My GP has reluctantly given me zopiclone for the fourth time which i am now taking.
Trouble is it does not seem to be working like it usually does, i am only sleeping for two hours a night. My lack of sleep is due to nightmares . hallucinations and flashbacks to abuse which occured in my teens.
I dont really kno what to do about my sleep and i am too afraid to ask for a different type of sleeping tablet because of my drs reluctance to prescribe them.
Trouble is the tiredness is ruining my life nowand i am unable to function!
What would you do?..........help me!

hey, i kno how much not sleeping can become a problem. i have a lot os problems with this and have found zopiclone varies in working, sumtimes its great and i can sleep 4 or more hours other times theres nothing. how about myabe printing your post of and showing yoru docotr if you cant actaully say anything. they may be able to offer soemthing else other than the zopiclone. a lot of doctors have problems with prescribing sleeping tbalets due to the addictions to them but if you make them aware of how badly its affectign you they should be able to help you. has anyone ever offered help with the nightmaers at all? maybe that could be an option?
i'd go back and try and speak to the doctor or is there a pratcice nurse that you might feel more comfortable talking to, who then could maybe speak to the doctor for you.
hope that helped a bit x

Hi thanks for the reply. I saw my dr this morning and he has prescribed me a weeks supply of Diazepam which should help with the sleeping problem and hopefully also the high anxiety that i am feeling at the moment.
Hopefully this will work!
