lorri:
Mari-I took Ambien CR. It was poison to me. Then I was changed to Lunesta, as well. Didn't work as well (I did sleep pretty good with Ambien, It was my awake hours that I had wicked side effects) Anyway, I found a remedy and have been sleeping fairly well since. Meletonin. Over the counter. I tried it before but wasn't taking enough. I take 2-5 mg tablets and sleep pretty good. Talk to your doctor always before starting anything new. Just saying it works for me and I had insomnia for years.

Thanks! I am going to give it a try. Cant wait to meet u on monday! :)

That's what I was talking bout babygirl the system @ work... Cool that your boss got things under control. Yeah, I haven't been on any type of sleeping meds so I can't speak from personal experience, but I wonder why they changed you from Ambien to lunesta? I hope they get things together my friend, because you need to make a long date with mr. sandman......

Cause Ambien was not working for me either.. so they change it to Lunesta.. I guess I am a lost cause.. lol.

Hello there my friend.... I bet with your system going down, you gotta be bored out of your mind. You will be one busy little bee this coming week I see... I know you will get through it. I know you have to be deprived of sleep, you are up all the time when you get off from work. You need your sleep my friend. I am sooooo jealous that I can't be in TX with you guys.... I bet it would be awesome for you guys.. Did you know Cyndi- is also from TX? You will have to let me know how well everything turns out for you all.

As far as I go, things are ok.. Work is something else, going slow and the census is really low so I had my share of the cuts... just looking foward to relaxing tomorrow.

When I said my system, I was referring to my system at work, pagers not going our and problems with the lines. but my boss fixed it in a matter of minutes. is just that I hate to call him and interrupt his rest.

I wish I could sleep, believe me, but is like my body batteries would get charged after a few hours of light sleep. But I am no spring chicken so I better start doing something about it cause I will start showing wrinkles..lol.. I was on ambien but they change it to Lunesta, and I dont see any major different except the lunesta takes much longer to fall asleep and I have a weird metallic taste in my mouth. I guess I will have to mention it to my doctor, because none of those med are helping me get more than 4-5 hrs of sleep.

I could try to get another job during the day, but jobs are tough at the moment, so a steady, secured job is priceless.. So I better be catching ZZZZ's whenever I can cause i am not changing jobs any time soon.

Hi Mauri.. just chilling here, our system is misbehaving tonight so I had to call the big boss and alert him. I think he did something to make it work temporarily but is unstable.

This week I will be having only one day off because my coworker is on vac and I will cover for her on friday, They changed a medication that I take so I have not been getting much rest this week, if I sleep 3 hrs is too much.. I think I am really getting sleep deprived. anyways.. i hope my body gets used to it soon, cause I am feeling tired.

Other than that I am fine. On monday we have a lunch date.. Tammy, Joan and her husband, lorri and Andy and me.. I know we are going to have a blast for sure.

and whats happenning in your neighborhood?

I'm having a craving but it is not for a chicken burrito. I am craving a margarita to go with the bbq ribs my DH made for dinner. I would even settle for a pina colada. I guess I am going to have to buy the fixins for some drinks on my next day off and break out my new blender.
