Re: Can't sleep, can't eat       08/18/08 01:08 PM Edit Reply Quote dragonfly Reged: 05/12/08 Posts: 1088 Loc: canada Hey I'm so sorry to hear you are having such a hard time. Depression is so tough.I have tried no presription drugs however I have tried St Johns Wort .It will help with mild depression, anxiety AND insomnia.I was stuck in my house too for more than a year we rarely went anywhere do to my IBSd and I couldn't sleep I was crying all the time Oh and afraid to go to the docs.My father inlaw suggested St Johns wort and I asked the pharmacist who was also trained in herbals and she told me to take 4 a day for two weeks then taper off each week until just one a day. It was a miracle for me.I was tired at first and had NO problem sleeping and all of a sudden, my anxiety was gone.I eventually stopped with them but in the winter I find I have to take them a bit more.I think tey are way safer than the drugs docs give you.Maybe you could try them and see if they help at all. We've all been depressed about the way our lives have turned out and why we have to deal with IBS but we are all different and are at different levels in this misery.Don't be afraid to ask for help when you need it cause we can all help. Good luck I hope you feel better soon. -------------------- IBS-D since 1999...mostly stable..i do cheat too.Bad me. Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
