Hello Dana,
I take trasadone for sleep, but if I get to cold or hot forget it.

I have the same problem with being cold and piling on the blankets.  And then getting so hot, I feel like I'm going to burn up and my temperature actually goes up.  My normal temperature is between 9698, my temperature actually goes up.  The only  season I like is summer.  It is getting too cold for me already and it is only getting down to the 50s.  My arms hurt a lot because I can't stretch them out straight.  When I wake up I put weights on my wrists to stretch and that helps relieve the pain.  No one in the room is ever the same temperature as myself.  I take blankets and extra sweaters if I go anywhere.  It is just a battle most of the year with the temperature fluctuations in my body.  I also have trouble sleeping and have more 31 years.  What does everybody take for sleeping.  I've used Ambien for over 10 years and it isn't very effective at all.  Is there anything else to take.  I also take 2 .25 generic Xanax throughout the night.  I have read that these type of medication may not be covered by the new Medicare prescription plan.  I would really appreciate any suggestions on sleeping medicine that might work better for me.
Thank you so much for any of your suggestions.
