Jessie -

First, ensure that the Tea you are drinking does NOT contain any caffeine - this can (obviously) mess around w/sleep bcuz of caffeine's natural chemical properties....

I take Xanax for my panic as well as to help sleep... I did start new meds (Seroquel) that is keeping me VERY wired as if I need that!!! during the day, on many occasions, I have split the pill (they are 2MG tabs) so I'm only getting half the dosage whenever my panic disorder/anxiety is not that high. Did you check to see if you can split the Vistiril? If you can, maybe you should try that - and also contact your P-doc and inform him/her of the problems wtih all the meds; one of them could be causing the 'extra' fatigue so to speak...

Be cautious about mxing herbal remedies or OTC stuff as well.... I know some meds do NOT work well with OTC's or herbal supplements...I can't remember if St. John's is one of them, but alot of the meds contraindicate the use of natural supplements. Again, best bet is to check with the doctor or even call the pharm. and ask them about it. They are the pro's when it comes to the meds, more-so than doctors in my opinion.

For me, particularly bcuz of the new med(s), I am VERY wired mentally but in a MASSIVE fog physically.. Concentration is pointless and I'm slipping into a depressive state after 2 days of 'normal' (cam out of my manic state 3-4 days ago - if that isthe correct # of days that is - can't remember!!)... Despite the 'going down' aspect right now, me being all wired up is killing me... I was told this is a side-effect and 'should' start subsiding soon.... ALL i keep asking is WHEN!!!!

I know how rough this can be - but we're here and talk as much as you need. Just ensure that you get a hold of either the doc or the pharm. today to find out what the combination of meds could be doing to you...

Take it easy,
