I know it has do do somewhat with the ativan I am on but it helps. I am on pain meds now for my back which probably doesnt make it any better. My meds work for me well though. Any med you are on will never help fully but my does help a lot.

I just cant believe I got more down than before. Everytime I try to open up I get shut down by something. I never get it all out and I feel like why try to explain if I get shut down. I dont know........ I am a mess right now. I am just sitting hear and tears are in my eyes but it isnt taking effort if that makes sense. it is like a am relaxing with tears rolling down my face. what is wrong with me....

I would go to sleep right away, but couldn't stay asleep for more than 3 hrs. I did find if I talked to my kids on the phone after taking my night meds I would have a perfectly reasonable conversation w/them, but didn't remember it at all the next day (also did the "sleep walking eating"). Needless to say it scared my kids (grown) & me so that I wouldn't talk on the phone after taking my night-time meds. Luckily, I've gone through some EMDR therapy treatment so have been able to get off the sedating meds for the most part--but it is scary to know you did stuff & can't remember it at all.
