Another comprehensive article, thank you Annie. I have tried it all, except a sleep study as my partner says I don’t snore. I had limited success with CBTi but the process cleaned up my sleep hygiene. I finally relented and now take a mild dose (5mg) of Lexapro and a magnesium supplement called Calm and have good results with that. Occasionally I will take 100mg of Trazadone. I have refused to take drugs for so long but my doctor finally said that getting a good nights rest was much more beneficial than the downside to these drugs. I hope she is right. Do you have any thoughts on Trazadone?

Thanks for all the information in this newsletter! About six months ago, I used your “How to talk to your doctor about HRT” newsletter to convince my PCP into giving me an estrogen prescription. A happy side effect is that I am sleeping better and longer than I have in years. Thank you!
