>>Anna, I'm glad I was able to help. Three-four hours of sleep consistently over a long period of time is not enough to function effectively.If your doctor's office does not call you within a reasonable time,always call them back. I have learned that sometimes the message center does not fax over calls when the doctor's staff is in (and they get paid per fax, so go figure!) Also, on weekends, I had a problem where the answering service did not read the doctor's instructions on their computer screen on where to reach him that weekend. When they called the wrong number and he didn't call back, they assumed he didn't want to be bothered!! Nothing could have been further from the truth..

I also experienced insomnia for a few months after surgery, but didn't worry about it because I felt fine. The insomnia eventually passed. I did not take anything for it, but sometimes insomnia is a vicious cycle and doctors break the cycle by prescribing a sleeping pill for a short time. I think one of the newer ones is called Ambien (sp?). How many hours of sleep do you think you are getting each night?
