Thanks for the new thread.
I started Trileptal and now I cannot sleep. I am just not tired, which frustrates me. I have heard some people say it makes them sleepy, but it isn't making me sleepy at all. I wish I could sleep because it is almost 2am and I keep tossing and turning. |

I woke up every hour or so because I just cannot sleep with Trileptal. People say it makes them drowsy, but that is definitely not the case for me. But yeah, I gave up on sleeping at 4am. |

I have a terrible habit of falling asleep on the sofa late at night, then waking up and feeling refreshed enough to carry on for another hour or so. Then I sleep till noon.

Thank you, Christina, for the new clubhouse! It's really nice. Well, for an update, these days I seem to be averaging 2 to 3 hours of sleep a night. Once in a while a little more. But at least I'm not sleepless, like you are, Christina, so much of the time. I'm wishing you better sleep! And I wish you all sweet dreams!

Moose isnt your long naps during the day playing into this kinda of chronic inability to sleep over all at night???? I know you are wanting to cut your Seroquil out and that opens a can of worms of needing to instead do a slow taper off of or yes Insomnia is going bite you in the back side..
What prompts your napping daily? Do you just get so tired you can not keep your eyes open? or do you sleep when you are watching tv or reading something? If you are in bed and comfy then yes a nap is likely to happen, So maybe get up in the am and make your bed and do not go back to it???? You can read of watch TV in your living room instead. I honesty think you would benefit greatly if you stopped any and all napping and do a slow taper off Seroquil.. Just a thought __________________ Helping others gets me out of my own head ~ |

I have a VERY strong feeling that I won't be able to sleep tonight. I was finally getting sort of drowsy about an hour ago, but then I took my Trileptal, so now I am not tired anymore. I think it is way too activating.
Oh well. The violent abuser downstairs is smoking pot and drinking a lot of booze anyways. I hear him yelling and slurring his speech (along with other people doing it too), and when I went downstairs earlier to pick up some packages, all I could smell was pot. I cannot sleep with their obnoxious behavior. But he sounds like a woman beater/abuser, so I want to avoid pissing him off. It is only a matter of time before he starts throwing things again. I don't care if you do pot or booze, but please don't smoke excessive amounts while drinking excessive amounts. That isn't a good mixture for anybody. |

Anybody out there still awake at 1:00 AM?? Went to bed at my usual 9;30 PM and here I am wide awake. Still battling this funky cold I caught a couple days ago. Sore throat, upset stomach, feeling tired during the day...yuck Hopefully can catch some zzz's tonight
