The doc. tried to give me zoloft too. At the 3 month mark, running on absolutely no sleep, the doc did the old ” do you like your baby” thing. Well, maybe i’ll like her more when she is one or grows out of this i told her. Anyways, tried the zoloft, but i just felt funny. I was so anxious about taking it that I think i made things worse. She gave me a starter pack of something called lexapro that she said would really just “take the edge off” and help me sleep better, but not put me out where I woke up groggy and out of it. Haven’t tried it yet, but a friend of mine had no problems and stopped using the medicine with no problems.
Also I tried the relaxation technique mentioned. Hard to relax when you know you are going to be up sometime during the night… but when?
Try something herbal, I always spray some lavender on a washcloth and put it over my face, it seems to have a calming effect. Hope you get some long awaited deep sleep soon!
