Hello

I'm here in search for some help i hope! I've never EVER had any type of sleeping issues until i was put on Lexipro for my anxiety attacks. I was on them for about a week when i started to get some insomnia from the pills. I was so freaked out by this that i stopped taking them. My daily anxiety has stopped, but i freaked myself out so bad from the insomnia that now i can't fall asleep. I sit in bed, and worry about NOT being able to sleep. I'll stay up sometimes until 4-5am and fall asleep because i'm so freaking tired. I have 2 kids, and a full time job, and it's really starting to ruin my life. This has been going on now for 2 months. I know now a very long time, but it's got to stop. I can't keep living my life like this forever, and be dependent on Tylenol PM, or Advil Pm to sleep. I just want to be able to fall asleep like i always did. I know maybe it's psycological, or 90% in my head. I've basicly programmed it into my head. How do i get this to end?!?!?!? Anyone with this problem or something similar?
