I have gone a few times in the past because I had gone 4-5 days with virtually no sleep and all meds I had weren’t helping. I know one time an Er doctor realized how desperate I was for sleep and gave me a dose of morphine as my benzo had no effect on my being frantic and twitchy from no sleep and a larger dose IV of Ativan “ I think” there is a benzo called Halcion and it will knock you flat out, it’s not prescribed often although my Pdoc has me on it fir a couple years at one point.
Of course my husband was with me, no way I would have been safe to drive there and legally they can’t give you those meds knowing id need to drive.
Could your parents help you if you just can’t function any longer with no sleep ? Maybe stay with them for a few days ? I know it’s helped you in past to not be alone.
I so hope your able to sleep tonight and it be a deep restorative sleep  |
That's good to know the ER can help. I suppose I can go if I don't get much sleep. I got 4 hrs last night (albeit 4hrs of
broken sleep).
As for my parents -- I don't want to bother them. My grandma is getting a mastectomy tomorrow and my mom is trying to play catch up at work before the surgery. (She runs her own business.) She's been pulling all nighters. So the only one who could help me is my dad. I *could* stay with them, though, I suppose. That's an option indeed.
We'll see how today plays out after my therapist calls me back.
