I know this may be sleep related, but after a busy day at work and then band practice I come home to lie down a bit and put on my mp3 player and then wake up at 3am remembering that I didn't take my meds!!! so I have to take them and then stay up and then crash late in the morning. I had to call off the job site today b/c I am about to fall asleep and would be no use to them if I can barely keep my eyes open. Should I just take my night meds when I get in the door even if its only 9pm? I'm thinking yes, but then I might be waking up at 5am several hours before work. Suggestions? Comments?
I take my tricyclic antidepressant (sinequan), my antipsychotic (zyprexa), and an off-label antipsychotic for sleep (Seroquel 100mg) at night. I must be fooling myself if I think I can just lie down "for a few minutes" as tired as I am and not take my meds. Thanks for letting me vent and just had to write it down somewhere.
