Cool Insomnia Club #3

I don’t know if I took too much. I feel weird but is that really that new. I mean it’s not like I’m going to do anything about it one way or the other. But I took my usual Valium. Then I took my lamictal and propalanol around 2:30. Then I felt sick and dizzy so I took a zofran and one of my anti vertigo meds around 3. I took my 20 mil Geodon a bit ago along with 2 zzquil melatonin gummies. I haven’t taken my 80mil Geodon, or my 25mil lamictal. Dinner won’t happen tonight I’m way too drowsy to eat.

I was pretty groggy all night. Kinda half asleep half awake throughout the night. I did get up at 4:30 and I took my correct dose of Geodon. I woke up about 1.5 hours later then usual at 6:30 and I was not able to take a shower since I was so tired. I think it was my anti vertigo med. I don’t usually take it but I took it last night and it can cause drowsiness.

Wishing good sleep tonight for ALL

I don’t really remember last night. I think I fell asleep around 7:30 and I got up at some point, I think 1 something to take my Geodon. I also woke up a couple times, don’t remember what time, to chug big glasses of water. I woke up at my usual 5:15 time. I Slept well though and I didn’t take anything strange. Just my usual night meds and my melatonin.

This new melatonin is working pretty good.

no sleep, but defenetly not the first time

I don't remember much of last night. I did not sleep much.... and surely not for the first ... or last... time

I didn’t take seroquel last night and woke up at 2:30am for 2 hours. Now it looks like lamictal also raises your resting heart rate and in fact a warning was put on it in March for heart patients. Great. I’m not one but that concerns me.

Lamictal is another med I have not tried.

I've been taking too many benzos for the last week or so for sleep so now need to cut down (significantly)

I’m tired right now and I haven’t taken any melatonin yet. I wonder if I can get by without any. I got by last night without any extra meds besides the melatonin.

I took a Valium, 3 melatonin’s, a zofran, and an extra 80 Geodon. I’m not sure it was a good idea to combine all that with the antibiotic I took. But what happens happens I guess.

I didn’t get any sleep after 11:40. I think regular melatonin gives me insomnia. I tried one as soon as I woke up and it didn’t help at all. As long as I’m not visibly crabby my mom won’t pay attention. Which is good. She’s not aware of much of anything except that I still miss my old therapist a lot. She hides my meds but doesn’t know just how depressed and anxious I’ve been. She wouldn’t send me to the hospital or anything like that. She’s always hated the hospitals. but I don’t want her to worry about me because she’s looking forward to this trip.

But I might as well just get up now since it’s my usual time.

2 hours tonight, no sleep night before. I don't even want to sleep anymore, gotta solve climate change crisis and read adn write poetry and I can't do that right if I sleep and lose the spirituality

I have been getting some sleep here and there, I am leaning hard on my Xanax but I figure if its going to be taken away I might as well use it now.

It’s about 3:30 and I’ve been up since 1:30. The problem is I forgot my charger in my moms room and my phone is at 20%. Getting it would be a problem because I’d have take it out of the extension cord and it would make a lot of noise. I could just plug it into the charger in the recliner in the family room. But then I wouldn’t have anything to do for 2 hours except sit in the dark and probably unsuccessfully fall back asleep. So idk. But that’s probably what I’ll have to do because we’re leaving at 9:30 and I need my phone to be completely charged.

I got my charger. I have no desire to go back to sleep. Not sure if it’s mania, or that I’m just kinda looking forward to my trip. I also fell asleep before 6 I think. So 6-1:40 is a lot of sleep.

I was so exhausted last night after my meds I fell asleep with my pillow with the arms instead of just my regular pillows. I’m surprised I didn’t wake up with back and neck pain.

I fell asleep around 6. I told my mom I’d get up for a piece of pizza later. But I ended up sleeping until quarter to 4. So yesterday I only ate like 500 something calories. Taking all my Geodon at night sure makes a difference in my hunger.

I did sleep with both my weighted blankets totaling 20 pounds. So maybe that’s why I slept so good and for so long.

My sleep is sucking more than usual in this heat.

I’m trying not to go to bed on a kind of empty stomach again. but I already took my melatonin and I’m in bed already. I’m just waiting until I get tired enough so I can take my Geodon and go to bed. My dinner is 310 calories out of my already low budget for today. But if I don’t want to eat I can’t force myself to.

But I’ve been sleeping from about 6PM- 4:15 every night. It’s been working out well.

But if I don’t eat dinner I will be at the most 920 calories for the day. And getting up later to eat doesn’t work because I have been sleeping 10 hours straight for awhile.

No sleep tonight on purpose. Steve has a 730 am appt tomorrow and its 1.5 hours North.

Hi, Christina & everyone! I wish you all a good night's sleep!

I woke up 45 minutes later then usual and I’m still very tired. I took 3 melatonin and I had some plain steamed zucchini for dinner. I woke up at 1 something and I told myself not to turn on my phone or anything. Just go straight to bed. And I then fell right back to sleep.

I fell asleep and then I woke up awake at midnight and once I’m awake like this I’m awake. I have an appointment at 10 and I was so excited that I’d only have a few hours of anxiety if I woke up at 5. But nope. Now I have 12 hours of anxiety. I’ll try to get back to sleep but it will be pretty useless I think.

Aw, babe...I really feel for you. I'm sending love popsicles in your favorite flavor and a big hug.

I'm so happy to see your little picture!

I've never taken that stuff (oral) but a doctor tried to prescribe it to me, along with seroquel, because of my allergies.

I can breathe ok (but my skin can't tolerate much of anything grrr)

I'm happy to see your picture too

hugs and love

Well no sleep last night and none expected tonight. My lungs are just starting to feel like they might be improving. I hope I dont want to go past 4 days no sleep..

We shall see !

Sleepy hugs everyone
