Re: Steroids and sleeping
Later in my cycles I really didn't want to be awake period, just sleep through the next couple cycles. So those steroid nights really sucked. I did take Ambien CR in the end but I don't have young children and a boyfriend that would bring me back to bed when I would sleep walk on it. I've tried everything under the sun, mirtazapine did work for me but caused seizures. The rest could have been a sugar pill. I have chronic insomnia so I'm the extreme. Surfing the internet would only make me more awake but something inane on TV helped, like the Food Channel. No thinking required! Hot shower also helped a lot as well. Good luck.
