Two months ago, I had my gallbladder removed and starting that VERY night, I had bouts of insomnia. They chalked the first 2 weeks up to surgery (the various drugs during/after surgery, pain, etc...). However, it never went away.
My surgeon had mentioned taking an enzyme to help my liver (a fatty liver no less) create bile; but I told him no more drugs, I'll be fine. However, the insomnia won't go away. The RN said "there's no connection between insomnai and having your gallbladder out".
My doctor has put me on Restoril (didn't work as well), ambien (does knock me out) and natural sleep aids (melotonin made me INCREDIBLY miserable (and didn't help that much)). Only the ambien worked to help get me sleep.
I've seen literally thousands of websites that say "buy our enzymes! It'll cure your insomnia!" and literally hundreds of those sites all say that having your gallbladder removed can be the source of the insomnia (which is contrary to what the RN said).
Has anyone had any experience with this? If I should be taking enzymes, what is going to be best? Is there anything else I should be worried about?
