   I HURT SO BAD WHEN I LAY DOWN,THE PAIN IN MY SHOULDERS,HIPS ,ETC FORCES ME OUT OF BED.TOOK 45MG RESTORAL AND 2 TYLENOL 3 JUST A WASTE OF TIME!
    ANYBODY GOT ANY SUGGESTIONS?
                           GAFF What is restoral? I would ask for some kind of slepping pill. I wait for mine to kick in before I lay down. SO I just basically pass out. Ask your doctor tell Maybe he will give you something.  ANOTHER NAME FOR RESTORAL IS TEMAZEPAM,IT USED TO WORK WELL WHEN I FIRST WENT ON IT,IT IS A SLEEPING PILL.MORE JOINTS GONE NOW THAN WHEN I FIRST WENT ON IT.I,M TIRED AND IN A WHINING MOOD.THIS IS A GREAT SITE,I SPENT FAR TO MANY UP ALONE PRIOR TO FINDING IT

I,VE BEEN THERE DONE THAT.  SLEEP IS HARD FORM ME TOO NOT ALLOWED TO SLEEP ON MY BACK BUT NOT SURPOSE TO SLEEP ON MY SIDES EITHER (JAW SURGREY). TRY AND COOL DOWN OPEN A DOOR OR A COOL WASH CLOTH AND DON,T LAUGH BUT TRY LAYING UPSIDE DOWN OR ACROSS YOUR BED I HAVE GOOD LUCK WITH THIS. I ALSO RUN A FAN FOR WHITE NOISE AND ZONE IN ON THE NOISE ANYTHING TO STOP THINKING ABOUT NOT SLEEPING.

GOOD LUCK

Good luck with you doctor and sleep.

Here's what works for me at night:

100mg of tramadol (Ultram) for pain and .5 to 1 mg of xanax or 10mg of ambien for sleep.

Vicodin makes me very comfy, but keeps me wide eyed. Xanax is great for "mind racing" and ambien is the greatest/gentle sleeping Rx in the world.

Hope this helps.

I use the same concoction. Tamadol and Ambien.  Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.  I take it every night with the hope that "this is the night it is going to work"  if it doesn't I wait 5 hours and pop a Hydocodone and lay back and enjoy the ride.  Got nothing better to do anyway.
