Can I take sleep medication?

Question

When I was 7 I started taking tylenol pm. Now I'm 14 and I have horrible sleeping problems. When I don't take them a constantly get up and check to see if someone broke in, and every noise terrifies me. I also think a lot when I hear noises, so it makes it almost impossible to sleep. My question is what's wrong with me, and do you think a doctor will give me sleep medication.

Answer 1

If you tell your doctor exactly what you wrote in your question, he should give you Ambien CR. Maybe Lunesta or Rozerem, or maybe phenobarbital.

Anyway, be sure to tell him you've had INSOMNIA since the age of 7.

Bless you and Good luck!  :)
