Insomnia

[kite]

Is kickin my ass big time! I've been goin with a night or two a week where I actually sleep a few hours the rest is just a cat nap here and there. I bet last week I didn't get 16 hours all fukkin week long! I've tried melatonin, and all that other shit, and nothing works. This is drivin me crazy, I feel like hell at the gym, I'm in a nasty ass haze all day at work, this just sucks ass. I guess I need to go to the doc and get some ambien or somethin. I've had this problem before but never this bad and never lasted this long. I hate takin sleepin pills cause I'm just kinda paranoid about not being able to sleep without them but at this point I'm willing to try damn near anything. Any of you ever get this problem?

Re: Insomnia

I would go to a specialist. With me I have bouts of insomnia when I'm stressed. I'm super laid back and don't take out aggressions in any other way so my stress manifests itself in my sleeping habits. I said all of that to say, if you can't figure out what has you unable to sleep then see a specialist. It could be a whole number of things that ambien may just mask.

Re: Insomnia

i get it at stressful times too...but, a little green death NyQuill does the trick for me! also...seems that if i'm going through that, i hit 2-3 spike energy pills around 6pm, hit the weights extra hard and for some reason, 9-10 times, when i crash from the energy pills, i'm out like a light. (not suggested for times when operating a vehicle or heavy equipment)

I'm pro medicine. If it helps you feel better or helps you get a good night's rest, then why not. I also agree with talking to a specialist that's not just another pill pusher, but for the quick fix, the quick script works wonders.

Have you tried Advil aor Tylenol PM? They really do work, ut the only thing is you do feel groggy for awhile whebn you get up in the morning.

Tried em but I get restless leg from that sort of thing. The doc said that I've been on antihistamines for so long (life long allergy probs) and that's most likely why. Benadryl does the same thing if I take it at night.

I got some lunesta and it's been working up until tonight. Don't know what the problem is unless it's my other meds screwin me up. Maybe it'll just work itself out . Thanks for the help everyone.

In my case, the underlying issue is most likely that I'm bipolar and this is one of the many symptoms that I've got. I'm on meds but maybe it's just a matter of them gettin into my system more.

Re: Insomnia

Lunesta only gave me 4hrs of sleep like regular 10mg Ambien. That is why I went to Ambien CR and Xanax

That makes sense. How long have you been on the meds?

you mix those 2 just for sleep? or do you take xanax on a regular basis and take the Ambien just for sleep?
