Jesus Christ I can’t seem to shut down and it’s 1:39 am ET. Made myself a cup of tea I’m getting irritated because I can’t just fall asleep. I want to go into my dream world where it’s all endless and where the impossible is possible.
These new meds seem to take away my sleep and it’s annoying and aggravating.
I woke up with a nightmare and can't seem to fall back asleep I feel really alone and scared kinda.
So your not alone
They usually effect sleep for a few weeks but it feels like forever. Decade tea I hope. Try melatonin
I hate those nights. I'm so sorry 😢.
I am taking Vistaril for insomnia and anxiety. It improved my sleep immediately. What new pills are u on? Sometimes it’s a side effect of new meds
Thanks everyone! Appreciate the encouragement and yes I was thinking about getting some melatonin and I’m not on Oxcarbazepine and still with my xanax which I take to help me with my anxiety and sleep 😴 when needed. I try not to take the Xanax an a regular because I know you can build a tolerance and before you know it I’ll have to take more and more mgs.
I pray the lord would give you peace and comfort in your time of need. All you need is faith the size of a mustard seed he says
I know your pain I have my good days and my bad days a lot of my anxiety attacks I thought were heart attacks in the beginning because of the physical symptoms I was always having (heart pounding, dizzy, impending doom feeling, breathing difficulty) but after years of having them and talking to doctors and therapists I realize now when I have them they are just anxiety attacks but they can be very scary for sure if you don't know what it is in the beginning. I hate taking RX meds too so it's a double edge sword, I feel like I trade one problem for another when I take the pills the doctors give me and all the side effects that come with them. To be honest I have been using medical marijuana for the last few years and I feel it really helps me and doesn't have near as many bad side effects. I know it might sound crazy but look into it and try a sativa strain it really helps with mood, anxiety and depression. But use a low does if you never tried it before
One-Love I was a huge pot head in my younger years lol 😝 love love love smoking weed but my career in the medical field well that’s a no no. I believe that I may have had bipolar depression anxiety back in those days but smoking weed suppressed it and now that I have been clean for a few years I believe it’s now manifested it’s self because I no longer smoke😓 I would rather smoke then to take meds but until it’s accepted that you can work in a hospital especially in the operating room and be medicated weed I’m going to have to take man made meds. I know all the benefits of medical marijuana and believe and support it very much.
I know your pain because I too had the same situation as you. Medical cannabis just became legal in my state not to long ago so I can finally somewhat come out of the shadows. I have a medical card now and It has by far helped me the most I feel with my issues of anxiety and depression. I hope your state comes around to realize how beneficial it is
Oh it’s medically legal here NJ but I don’t know how that works with being a hospital employee and also I’ll hopefully start nursing school soon and they also require drugs tests so I have to look into all that, as well as don’t know yet exactly what conditions are acceptable for treating with medical marijuana but right now they are adding migraines and a few other conditions to the list.
Sorry you felt and went through that. Are you better or no? I feel like i don't need any sleep and don't ever really feel tired anymore even though i know i need sleep. My 5mg melatonin pills don't work...i take 2 now and it will still be hard to fall asleep. I only feel tired when feeling depressed.
Seems like you may be going through a manic phase usually you don’t need much if any sleep and you feel as though you have all the energy in the world. Your body will build tolerance to things like that try to get off of it for a while and then start back maybe take it every other day or so. You may need something prescribed I take xanax not only for anxiety but also it makes me drowsy but once I see I’m needing it every day just for sleep or my tolerance is getting used to it I stop for a little while.
Oh ok i never knew that. I honestly don't take it every night but when i do it doesn't help as much as it used to! And when i don't take it, i just stay up and can't fall asleep. I will get up and eat food at 3, 4, 5, 6 in the morning. I would stay on my phone and 2 nights ago i was laughing and laughing and can't remember why i was laughing so hard at like 4 in the morning.......i was taking zoloft (50mg) i stopped taking it and it was making me feel crazy so i stopped and i was getting some withdraw symptoms i guess a while afterwards like waking up drenched in sweat even though i slept with the fan on. And being itchy like crazy only at night. But that's it, i don't know if it made me kinda think about harming me.
