Cool insomnia club #4

Oh Nammu !

I understand your pdocs thought on Belsomra but I’d be hard pressed to try it as then your hooked on another med unless you can truly use it when your just not coping.

Knock on wood. My Seroquel and Doxepin give me pretty consistent sleep. Have you ever tried those ? I’m sure I’ve asked this before but my memory is garbage.

Sleep wasn’t all that great last night but it was something at least.

Sleepy hugs !!

Seroqual yes, it worked wonderfully for about a week then I started having terrible leg spasms. I was soo tired and would nod off then my leg would spasm and I’d be jerked awake. It went on like that the whole night. I tried three more times and had the spasms every time! Doxepin I’ve never had, I’ll check that out.

Back into bad habits. It's almost morning proper and I haven't had a lick of sleep! Luckily, I have nothing to do and nowhere to go, so I can try and catch up on some Zs. I'll also take the Abilify prescribed to me before bed tonight. I have a commitment Sunday morning and I don't want a repeat of last week where I nearly stranded my mother! Fingers crossed!

I fell asleep at 6:30 and slept straight until 4 on just one 10mil melatonin. Its this new stuff I got last week it works pretty well.

Just couldn't fall asleep last night. Had "nighty night" tea. Nothing. Melatonin. Nothing. Finally at 1am I took a couple benadryl and got 5 hours of sleep. Still tired. I can't wait for winter so I can just sleep in the cold and the dark.

Off & on sleep. I'm a mess. My heart is so sad from failing so many things, mostly due to tiredness & weakness.

Well the edibles? Eh, mostly I just got a headache. I didn’t get much more sleep than usual with the edibles. I’ll have to try it again sometime to see. Have nine doses left. But if it gives me a headache again I won’t be finishing it. I’ll just give it back to my daughter.

Leg spasms ACKKKKK ! I can’t deal with them.

Yeah look into Doxepin might help even if it’s just a little

Awwww Dawn try not to beat yourself down too much. Sleep is so hard to find and it be consistent. Any change a medication change could help ??

I found out doxepin is an antidepressant. I can’t take those, they are activating for me and send me over the edge. I was hoping the edibles would work better. It is a low dose. Only 5mg but that’s what’s legal here now. Kinda funny how that law was snuck though a back door. I can’t remember ever getting a headache from smoking it but back in the day I wasn’t on any prescription medication so who knows. I took one chewable at around 6 and the only thing I noticed was the headache. Then at 11 I took the chocolate. I was so hoping it would work. Maybe in California or Colorado where you can get specific strains that work better at this or that?

I fell asleep at 7 and woke up at 2 something. So it wasn't a bad night I'm just trying to get on a schedule and I was off yesterday.

Another rough night of just listening to podcasts and constantly getting up just to pace around. I just can't stop pacing--not even to sleep!

I guess I'll look into that.

I've been allergic to so many meds it's kinda scary.

I would love to try the edibles (not an option here)

In Massachusetts' dispensaries they have menus that are pages long with various strains of various %s of THC/CBD. I find stuff with low-medium levels of THC and high levels of CBD help me sleep the best. Legalization is great.

Oh, Massachusetts is one of the enlightened states! Yeah, I wish my state would just legalize it for recreation but there’s too many far right nuts blocking the attempts. This low dose edibles bill escaped scrutiny because the right thought it was something else. In my experience Mary Jane is far safer than alcohol. I don’t know if it’s because of the format or what but I’m disappointed in what’s available here.

Yeah, in my experience mj is more helpful than harmful as long as it's regulated and not laced with say fentanyl like you get up here sometimes (which is why everyone around here over 21 goes to MA for the good stuff).

Still angry that Nude Hampster is just this island of prohibition in the Northeast. Legal in Maine, legal in Vermont, legal in Quebec, legal in MA, but here? nope. But you can get hard liquor SUPER DOOPER cheap right on the fkn highway.

Yeah I’m in the mid west, pretty conservative. But we are the most liberal in women's health care so we’re a designated state for healthcare. Minnesota was a leader in education until they voted for a bunch of loser governors that wreaked our education. Lots of Scandinavians here!

Relied on benadryl to sleep last night again but it didn't work too well. When I see my new pdoc I'm gonna ask for clonidine to hopefully combo-help sleep and adhd stuff. When I took it as a teen it didn't help with sleep much but then again I probably took it then drank two cups of coffee and said it didn't work knowing me then lol.

I woke up too early again. But I think I may have done a little bit better this time. Still tired, though.

I took a left over 10mg pill. Oh it was sweet, popped off to never never land swiftly and woke up once around 5 am then went back to sleep until the alarm went off! Sweet! 7 solid hours of sleep!

Well that sucks ! I’ve never been able to do AD’s for that reason but I agree to give it a chance. I know I got lucky that I can tolerate it.

I would love to try edibles. But my state is being a jerk at this point. Eventually I hope it’s allowed !

Glad you got some sleep last night

I’ve had a headache for 2 days so my sleep is lousy.

I’m just miserable with this heat. I have a ceiling fan and a fan on my dresser but I still feel hot and sweaty so that makes good sleep impossible. Come on Fall !!!!!!!

Go easy on yourselves.

ughh why can't I sleep for more than two hours straight?
