Help me SLEEP!!!

[kcherub]

Okay...I had been taking Ativan (very small dosage) to sleep every night since (oh, I don't know) last May. That's 2007, people. I began thinking that I should come off of it (liver concerns and the fact that I abhorred any medications before all this crap). I took Tylenol PM a couple of times, and tried Benadryl. They both worked like a charm, but I wasn't sure how safe they were to take on a regular basis as well.

I have tried Rozerem (just twice). Hate it! I take it, and four hours later, I am awake, sweating like crazy, and trying to wrap my mind around the freaky dreams I just had! I can't say for sure that the sweating isn't caused by Tamoxifen, but I don't have it very often. Other than the Rozerem nights and the occasional, "Todd, turn on the AC!"

Anyhoo, now I am reading that there are tons of things you should NOT take with Tamoxifen (ADs, Benadryl, Tylenol PM--it has Benadryl or something like it) because they can interfere with Tamoxifen and might make it obsolete. I curse the Tamoxifen every time I take it, so I don't want to do anything that makes it not work as effectively!!! I even returned a bunch of Mary Kay stuff because of all the parabens. I am getting hardcore, eh?

So, can anyone offer any suggestions? I am becoming a grumpy butt, although you wouldn't know it by my pasted-on, Barbie doll smile in the new photo. LOL

Take care,
