Has anybody tried acupuncture for insomnia and/or general anxiety?
I am still having trouble staying and going back to sleep, and my doula recommended I try acupuncture. I think it's worth a shot but curious if any of you have experiences to share.

I tried for migraines. Didn't work for me.... but many people swear by it. I loved it though, it was so relaxing, I just couldn't keep up with it because it was too expensive if it wasn't actually solving my problem.
Hope it works for you!

@artbee: I have migraines too but I haven't tried it for those yet. Sorry it didn't work for you. I'm so curious how it feels!

I tried it (along with several other things) when I was having a bout of insomnia/anxiety.
My insomnia/anxiety improved, but I'm not sure it was accupuncture, yoga, massage, vitamins, change in diet, change in exercise, etc, etc that resolved my issues.
I know how overwhelming everything is when you aren't getting enough sleep for a long period of time. Good luck!!

I did. I think it helped. Although for the money, not sure I would do it again.

@Aprk - have you checked to see if your health insurance covers acupuncture? Some do, which would help with the costs.
