Hiya,

I feel for you i really do, lack of sleep is totally something that is effecting me to.

Without the dulling effect of weed the brain goes into over drive.

I phoned my GP yesterday about desperately needing sleep, when it took 4 hrs to watch a 30 min prog because i was so dissociated, tired and racing thoughts. I decided it was daft I needed something to take the edge off convinced that with sleep this would be better.

I asked for diazepam but like you over medicate so she said no, but she has changed my med profile instead. I was taking 200mg quatiapine at night, but she has given me some 25mg so I can take one or two in the day as well.

Good news, I finally slept for the first time since quitting, I woke up at 6am but that was just over 6 hours sleep I feel so much better for it.

Have you spoken to your doc? Mb rather than sleep tablets they could tweak your meds to calm the brain down to allow you to relax enough to catch those pesky z's.

Are you getting to sleep ok? Is it the waking up that is annoying you? Are you getting back to sleep after waking up?

Have you spoken to a doc about the waking? What did they say?
