A few weeks ago my pdoc changed all my meds. Since then I’ve been either sleeping too much or not enough. If I do sleep I can’t wake up. I’ll set several alarms and they don’t wake me up. I’ll wake up like minutes before I have to be at work and arrive late. I’ve also been super depressed and panicky lately. So instead of waiting 2 more weeks for my originally scheduled appointment I made an appointment this week to see my pdoc and my therapist. My appointments were yesterday. I slept though both of them. My earliest appt was at 2 p.m. and I woke up to my mom yelling at me at 5 p.m. Everyone had been trying to get ahold of me all day and I was sleeping so I didn’t talk to anyone. So when my mom got off work she dove over to my house to see what was wrong and woke me up. When I woke up I had 21 missed calls, 1 of those calls was from my doctor’s office saying that if they didn’t hear from me they were going to call the cops on me. Anyway I rescheduled my appointments for Monday which sucks because that means I have to miss another day of work. But I don’t know if I can’t wake up because of my meds or because I’m depressed or what. I’m super mad at myself for missing those appointments.

Hi there, welcome

Sounds like meds need to be tweaked. But I think there is hope - I used to miss appointments like that - or schedule 3 appointments on same day and miss them all... then they sometimes charge you for missing I still have problems with mornings, but it has improved. I hope you get help from T and doc soon.

I had alot of problems waking up when I first started on meds. I would sleep for 14 hours ! A phone call to my pdoc was all it took to have one of the meds cut in half.

It took a few days but eventually I was able to get up to the alarm but it still took alot of effort. I would have to kind of set my mind to the importance of hearing it and getting right up. I did this just before falling asleep.

Now, a month later, I am getting up most days although I have to go to bed eary and take the meds by 8 pm.

If I were in your shoes I'd check myself in to the hospital for a few days until they could get the meds better adjusted. There would be no issues with missing your appts since you'd be right there and people could monitor your sleep and waking issues.

I hope it gets straightened out for you soon.
