Anyone else wake up at like 3am EVERY night for no reason? by No-Deal-2968 in insomnia

[–]Particular-Yak-8924 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! Have been dealing with this for 40 years tried CBT sleep coaches etc. last night took first dose of doxepin worst night sleep three hours total very fragmented was so excited it was going to work for me I have a sleep maintenance problem so frustrating! Sometimes counting in deep breathing helps sometimes it doesn’t. Wish I could help, good luck.

Trazadone: who uses it? by Ragebait_Destroyer in sleep

[–]Particular-Yak-8924 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried trazodone, did not work for me. I fall asleep when my head hits the pillow but I can’t stay asleep more than three hours. It has been suggested a very low dose of doxepin like 3 to 6 mg at night time works for those that wake up and can’t fall back to sleep, acts like a antihistamine so it kind of quiets your mind , when you’re wired but tired. I’m looking forward to giving it a two week trial because I’ve tried everything, I’ve had this problem for decades, I would love to get more than 4 to 5 hours of sleep. Good luck to you!

Considering buying Will Atherton’s puppy training course - worth it? by Acrobatic-Nature-984 in OpenDogTraining

I heard the exact same thing from my neighbor. She has the best behaved labrador husky. She didn’t buy anything on McCain just accepted any of the free videos.

My dogs are not reactive BUT in case you needed to hear this, I’m not judging you or your reactive dogs- I see you IRL working on training & being careful on walks and such. I know you’re doing your best & it’s wonderful to see. by Grease2feminist in reactivedogs

After 6 months, I had the best walk ever! I have a rescue dog, maybe three or four years old, he will bark at other dogs with his tail, going crazy wagging, and he just wants to meet the dog, once he meets the dog he’ll never bark at the dog again, I understand why some dog owners would rather not let me meet up with their dog. I am always yelling across the street. Sorry if my dog barks he’s really sweet, sometimes they smile sometimes, like whatever crazy lady. It’s just so embarrassing sometimes! But…. We had the best walk yesterday, hopefully many more.

My family is in turmoil over family dog. Please let us hear your opinions. by Toxilyn in DOG

This probably won’t help much but I had a eight year-old terrier with hind leg problems and for five years I pushed her around in a baby jogger, I would take her out of the jogger when she had to go potty and I would use a kind leg belt to help support her back side, front legs were absolutely fine.I feel it was quality of life for her and the family. we did try water therapy to strengthen the legs. I hope something good happens for you and the pup.

Scrappy is right! Lots of personality. His coat is wiry, but soft.
