Hello,
I am sorry but i couldn't understand the reports that you have stated. Are they your urine reports?
Disturbance in sleep architecture is very common among the nursing mothers. You shouldn't make yourself so stressed and things will settle down once your son gets a bit older. Meanwhile nothing wrong in using ativan for sleep. Before you start yourself on medication, you should try all the sleep hygiene measures. Firstly stop all tea/coffee/alcohol/chocolates/colas as all of them contain caffeine. Next you should start with daily exercise for 45 min to 1 hr. Take a warm bath at night, regularize your sleeping timings. Dont try too hard to go to sleep. If you are not getting sleep, sit up, do some reading and again go to the bed when you feel drowsy. Use your bed exclusively for sleeping and keep your bedroom lit dim. If the problem still persists, please visit some other psychiatrist who can help you.
Hope i am able to solve your concerns.
Thanks for seeking help on HCM.
