The cool insomnia club #2

Mountaindewed · Apr 04, 2021 at 05:14 PM

I took a mil of Xanax, 2 unisom, and my 100 mil of geodon. So far I’m just very relaxed. I don’t want to go to bed yet but the unisom takes awhile to work.

Mountaindewed · Apr 06, 2021 at 03:06 AM

I woke up with the worst heartburn. And blurry vision too. At least it wasn’t anxiety.

Why am I wide awake before my alarm?? Bleh..

Mountaindewed · Apr 07, 2021 at 05:02 AM

I slept from 7 until half an hour ago. I was thinking of going back to sleep for a couple hours. It’s early but not ridiculously early. This would have been a great time to wake up if I had to work my old job.

This seems to be the magical hour to wake up for me. So annoying.

Mountaindewed · Apr 09, 2021 at 03:58 PM

I fell asleep shortly before 10 last night. I took my Geodon at 7:15 I think and fell back asleep until 8. Then I stayed up until 9 and I fell back asleep until noon. I got enough sleep last night and I only took a couple melatonin early in the evening. Not at midnight or anything. So I assume I’m just depressed today.

I don’t remember too much last night. I fell asleep from 6-8. Then I took a bunch of stuff at 8. I woke up a ton to chug water. I woke up I think at 3 and I took 4mil of Xanax and a Pepcid. But I don’t know why I didn’t take my Geodon at that time. Because I then woke up at 7 to grab something from the medicine cabinet because I ran into my mom who was up but I don’t remember what I took.

For some reason, last night I decided not to take ZzzQuil or melatonin. I took only 12.5mg Seroquel. What do you know...I slept just as well as I do with the otc stuff! Maybe thinking that I need so many sleep aids is not necessary.

Second Moderna shot Thursday, Yesterday I was exhausted like no other in my life, basically have been non stop sleep and wake up still exhausted..

But better than Covid. Friends tell me I should wake up feeling back to normal tomorrow. Im sure hoping !!!

Oh, Christina you’re here. You like my dreams so much, wish I would have posted this morning but it’s faded a lot. I do remember that I was working in some kind of office, really large but at the same time pretty cozy. Everyone was friendly and had cubbies with their own personality. Then some body was killing workers and I was trying to write up notes in the order of people killed and the cops came and wanted all my notes. I was trying to put them in order to copy them on our new colored coppier but they were in a hurry and wanted the originals. Then they took my co workers knitting. And I was like you can’t do that it’s to go to her daughter. And while that was all going on there was something attached to me slowly sucking my life away. I had to solve who was doing the killing to stop it. Then I woke up so I’ve no idea who did it and if I lived or not!!!

~Christina · Apr 13, 2021 at 01:05 AM

There's nothing "cool" about insomnia in my book. This is night #4 or 5 with little sleep. I got desparate tonight & took 2mg Klonopin & 200mg Trazodone, but still nothing. I'm starting to feel mentally ragged. Not good.

Breaking Dawn · Apr 16, 2021 at 02:29 AM

Me too!......

Nammu · Apr 17, 2021 at 07:34 PM

Well last night was a wash. No dreams cause no sleep. But tonight is Saturday and I always take the full dose of ambien on Saturday night so tonight should be restful.

I'm so sorry that you're having such a rough time right now. No, there's nothing "cool" about insomnia itself...the idea of this thread (as I understood it) was to make a place where anyone who couldn't sleep due to insomnia could come here in real time to talk to others who were awake, too. Hence the so-called satirical "cool" club.

gina_re · Apr 21, 2021 at 02:20 AM

I knew I wasn't going to sleep through the night...

~Christina · Apr 21, 2021 at 03:21 AM

Well I was sleeping really well in the last few days. Tonight ? Oh course not.

Oh a happy note I have gotten on the forum something I want to get back to daily but I just lose track of days, Lack of Psych meds are likely the issue but in no hurry to hop back on something.

Hopefully tomorrow night I will be able to get some sleep

Sleepy cookies to all ~~~

I made this thread as pretty much a joke, Its just a place we can all come and either report we were able to get some sleep and a place for people to find comfort knowing they are not the only one unable to get sleep..

Do you have a PRN Med for when you really hit a wall and cant sleep ? Years ago Zyprexa was something I would take only one when I had gone days without sleep and it sometimes helped. About 5 years ago I was given Thorazine IP as I hadnt slept in 5 or 6 days I took one and slept 16 hours.. Ive only take one 3-4 over the years, when I really was coming unglued.

I dont know if that is something your Pdoc would consider, But I would sure ask for something extra to take for a night when sleep has to happen..

Nammu · Apr 21, 2021 at 11:26 AM

After two nights of good sleep last night was a toss and turn, but I stayed in bed. Other than my eyes being so itchy and my thoughts slow I do feel ok. Just slow.
