    Hi Kitty69. I suffered from insomnia when I was first diagnosed 3 years ago ,had sleeping pills but they stopped working ,and had to withdraw from them slowly , tried all sorts of things , some nights I did'nt sleep at all,others just 2 or 3 hours , then about a year ago I went to my doctor as I was desperate , I was also very anxious , he put me on antidepressants , there not perfect some good nights and some not so good,  but the anxiety has gone , if I get 5 hours I can manage on that.  good luck with your treatment  Ellen.
