Well, so the Zyprexa we added temporarily for this sleep crisis does work. I take it and then I sleep. The problem is, I am still somehow sleeping much more in the day that at night. The med zonks me (20 mg qHS). Which is why I am up right now (3 AM my time). Somehow just have to get this thing turned around and onto the correct clock. Going to try to power through today without any naps. Not sure I can do that, but it is necessary.
Other than that, mood-wise, I feel much better than I have in a couple of weeks. No doubt, this is due to the sleep. Grateful for that. Will have to figure out what the long-term sleep solution will be. I can't take Ambien (causes me to sleep-cook and sleep-walk and do other bizarre things). Seroquel only works for a finite period of time in me, then I am tolerant and it no longer does anything. Won't take Zyprexa long-term--causes me to eat everything in site. On and on. Remeron worked a long time ago. Worked really well. Might have to try that one. We'll see.
So, that's it. Things are a bit better right now. And I am grateful.
