Insomnia can be very frustrating and difficult to live with. As an insomniac you'll know that the harder you try to fall asleep, the longer it takes. I know that it feels like you are slowly going insane when you lie in bed for hours on end waiting for sleep that never comes. After a few months I was so desperate that I decided to use sleeping pills, which turned out to be a huge mistake.

I finally decided to go and see my doctor and get some much needed help. During my appointment my doctor seemed disinterested in my symptoms and quickly wrote me a prescription for sleeping pills. He asked me very few questions and I was in an out of his office within 5 minutes. I was a little apprehensive about using sleeping pills, but I just wanted to be able to sleep again - so I started taking them that night.

It took me a few months to realise that these pills were actually making me worse after I read the sleeptracks review. Although the pills worked pretty well initially, they eventually became less effective. I suffered some mild side effects whilst using them and was even happy to put up with the fact that I felt like I had a hangover every day, but when they stopped working I decided enough was enough and stopped taking them - and I'm glad I did.

I suffered slight withdrawal symptoms, but I found that my insomnia was worse then ever. I still suffer from time to time but I would never use another sleeping pill ever again!
