I don’t think I’ll be able to get rest for a while. I’m wide awake. I’m not manic though, or even hypomanic. Just not tired because I’m so used to being sedated.
I’ve heard Benadryl works well for sleep in some people, so you can try asking the pharmacist about that if you don’t want to take more ambien or if it doesn’t work.
I know if I start taking OTC stuff, I’ll grow dependent on it (it’s just how I am), so I’m staying away from that. I used to have a klonopin Rx for sleep, but I lost it because I never use it anyways. But I’m also trying to be on less meds overall, so going back on klonopin would defeat the purpose of what I’m trying to do.
I’m sure I’ll
eventually be able to get some rest. I just don’t know when. I have to be tired first.
