*hugs* insomnia is a bummer, a real drag. I wish I could help. I take Kava Kava (Several European countries have approved Kava preparations in the treatment of nervous anxiety and insomnia. This is based on detailed pharmacological data and favorable clinical studies. In previous studies using D,L-kawain (purified kavalactone) at 400mg a day on 84 patients with anxiety symptoms showed improvement in vigilance, memory and reaction time. Another study using 38 patients compared kawain to the drug oxazepam (similar to diazepam or Valium). Both showed progressive improvements in two different anxiety scores over a four week period. However, while oxazepam is associated with being addictive and having side effects, kawain appeared free of these complications.
Recent studies have focused more on Kava extracts. Studies have shown that kavalactones are absorbed into the body quicker when taken in extract form. Further evidence shows that Kava extracts exert significant benefit in anxiety. A study gave 29 patients Kava extract 3 times a day and placebo to another 29 over a 4 week period. Those taking the extract showed significant reduction in symptoms of anxiety, including feelings of nervousness and somatic complaints such as heart palpitations, chest pains, headache, dizziness and feelings of gastric irritation. No side effects were reported.
Another study used 2 groups of women with menopause-related symptoms. As significant improvements were noticed by the end of the first week, scores continued to improve over an 8 week period. Notably, there was an overall improvement in subjective well-being, mood and general symptoms of menopause including hot flashes. No side effects were reported.
but you can't take it while pregnant... sorry
