Is Lisiprin ever prescribed as a sleep aid? The intent is blood pressure regulation, but I didn't have a night of insomnia for the first year I was on the stuff. And for the first six months or so I would fall asleep within moments of sitting down on a couch and relaxing in the evening.
Matt, do you mean lisinopril? I doubt it would ever be prescribed as a sleep aid, only because it's a blood pressure med, and if it were prescribed to an insomniac with normal or low blood pressure, they'd have some serious blood pressure problems.
Probably the reason you slept so well, and would fall asleep right away, is that lisinopril can cause fatigue, because it basically suppresses your heart rate and your adrenalin response. I was on it for about a month, when I had to stop it b/c I was so exhausted all the time.
I have nothing to say about sleep drugs but this:
so the nurses presented me to my Mom in a red Christmas stocking
is the cutest story ever. I think I would have kept the stocking.
Where's your tag from, bon?
Teppy--I am waiting for my doctor's office to open because I see that I am not supposed to take Lexapro and Imitrex--and I am about to enter Week of Womanly Wonder, where I get slammed with migraines every day. You know anything about this? I can't be doing without my Imitrex.

"Meeting in the Ladies Room"
newsflash: Halloween in Salem, MA AKA Witch City is pretty crazy.
The train depot this morning was trashed.
We had some trick or treaters, and we hung out with our co-home owners (condo neighbors) and drank a couple glasses of wine and then I was paranoid for the rest of the night that I said/did stupid stuff. Tom and I ate dinner (pumpkin flavored fresh papadelle pasta w/prociutto and toasted pine nuts/pumkin seeds/almonds & sausage) and then strolled into town. Ca-razy!
Halloween in Broward County was cancelled.
I think I'm going to frame the newspaper picture with the picture of Mrs. Flintstone and the word Bitch plastered next to it. It feels vaguely appropriate.
I had to leave my condo to come to this
I woke up completely exhausted this morning and decided to call in sick instead of fighting it. The resulting 3 extra hours of sleep have helped immensely.
ION, I have no idea why my upstairs neighbors open their door to the laundry room and then close it again 30 seconds later several times a day. They actually have to descend the stairs to do anything in the room, but I just hear them open the door and then close it again a short while later. At first I thought they were listening for the washer and dryer, but this happens even when neither of us is doing laundry.
