Ive been having the same type of problem since April this year...it has progressively gotten alot worse over the months... But was diagnosed with insomnia at 15, i was able to live & manage with it most of the time but this year has been horrible with it!!! I find it very hard to get to sleep up until between 5-7 am, ive tried going to sleep earlier when im tired but i was an hour & a half later & it drives me crazy! Ive been put on stillnox which worked amazingly a couple of years ago after i got discharged from the psych ward but when prescribed this year they havent worked, im not sure if its the dosage or what! My psych gave me another sleeping tablet to take with Lamotrigine but that hasnt worked either, the only time i got a little relief was from taking a prescribed oxynorm one night & it knocked me right out! Other than that im still having alot of trouble, alot of what you have said about your troubles i can definitely feel that!! I hallucinate, i go into a rage because of exhaustion, ive had a few panic attacks just out of nowhere during the day, sometimes i go hypomanic out of nowhere after hardly any sleep & feel like i could run a marathon even though im that stuffed from lack of sleep! Ive been getting the strange vivid dreams too about death & grieving at the moment for some strange reason, i even thought my mother was talking to me from up above a few days ago & trying to tell me certain things, ive felt the paranoia mostly at work, like everyones watching me & thinking very bad things when its really busy & i dont know whether to run or not, i feel like i cant keep still at the moment because of this! I really do feel where your at! It can be so frustrating to deal with & sometimes the lack of sleep just gets too much for the mind & the body & it feels like your stuck & dont know where to turn! I would go talk to your doc & see what things can be done to help get some relief of lack of sleep & to take the edge of things, its a very hard time on the mind & body but hopefully you will find some sort of relief soon just like im hoping i will! Try & take it easy, i know thats easier said than done but just try to move through things as best you can while trying to get the relief you need, we're all in this together & to try & help one another in these hard times, i just hope this stops for you soon & you start feeling a little more balanced out soon!! Its such a horrible thing!!
