Re: insomnia
I used to be a very sound sleeper, but not anymore. I tried everything I could think of, with no luck. My onc prescribed a light sleeping pill (15 mg of Restorill) and that has done the trick for me. I still don't sleep like I used to, but it certainly is better, and the dosage is about half of the typical dose.
