So this new sleeping med combination is kicking my butt. Which was the point but wow. The 11 pm dose puts me to sleep within 30 minutes or so. That is wonderful. The problem is I wake up around 4 wide awake which means I have to take more klonopin. And that just knocks me out for a long time.


Today I slept until 1. I was up at noon but must have fallen back to sleep. I've been wanting nothing but a nap since but I'm not supposed to nap. I'll be glad to sleep soon.

It's affecting my coordination. Typing is hard. Yesterday I dropped a whole bowl of uncooked oatmeal and water when I tried to put it in the microwave. Today I tried to get a glass out at my mom's and dropped and broke it. I seem to be having more tremors than usual.


I hope that soon I start sleeping through the night without the 4 AM dose. Then maybe next month I could back down from some of the night meds.

I'm glad that she was aggressive and we're getting this under control. I needed consistent sleep. I just hate feeling groggy.

Hopefully tomorrow I don't make a big mess. That's my goal.
