Hello ladies,
So here it is 4:30 a.m and I have been awake since 2:20.
I currently take only 4 mg of steroids every Monday night as I have chemo on Tuesdays which then I get 1 additional mg via Iv . I am finding it very hard to sleep through the night especially Monday nights. I take ambien 5 mg ( won't do ambien cr) So this is the thing I would like to sleep through the night but still have to have the ability in the a.m to take my teenage son to school safely. I know some of you ladies use Restoril . Please advise if this is very helpful or should I ask for something else( Ativan is a no go for me)
