Question 3

my 9mo is having problems sleeping. is there anything i should watch for?

Accepted Answer

Trained Night Criers: 9 months old is a common age for "trained night crying".  These is seen in children who have developed habit of waking through night to feed.  Try aioding night time bottles and make interactions at night as brief and boring as possible.  Go into room, briefly comfort child and exit.  Plan on couple of restless nights but most children adjust faster than parents expect.

Question 4

i am taking temazpam 30mg and i still am having problems sleeping. is there a better pill?

Accepted Answer

Not really. : There are many medications for insomnia.  They often work better in combination than by increasing the dose of any single agent.  You might consider adding valerian root, Benadryl (diphenhydramine) or melatonin to your temazepam.  Of course you should have already maximized your basic sleep hygiene.  If all else fails the temazepam can be increased to 45 at bedtime.

Question 5

i am having problems sleeping i have a lot of anxiety ,and. hear outside voices that arent there ?

Accepted Answer

Get seen now.: Call your primary care doctor now and tell him/her what is going on.  You need to be checked to find out if you have a physical problem causing your symptoms. If not, then you can be treated for anxiety and hearing voices.  If you do not have a primary care doctor, go to an Emergency Room where you can be evaluated. You may call a mental health crisis line: https://tinyurl.com/y9ejr5xn
