Need sleepin pill help!!

hey

no matter what i do i could stay awake for all night and all day,

u think at night i would be tired , no im wide awake

i sleep from 6am to noon but even if i dont and i stay awake i cant sleep at night its like im nocturnal

i think i have brain damage from alot of thorazine

i tryed vistaril, it worked for 2 nights

but im thinking maybe if i try a combination like a cocktail it might work

like ambien and vistaril

or thorazine and vistaril

or thorazine ambien and vistaril

seroquel keeps me awake

im flagged from benzos cuase im on probation

but im afraid to take ambien cuase ive heard that people sleep walk and hallucianet off of it but my aunt takes it and shes fine

anybody know any sleeping pills ???

oh and i forgot to say

i see my family doctor this monday and im going to tell her about my sleeping issue

and i did tell my psychiatrist hes the one that gave me the vistaril months ago

but i think i need a cocktail of pills to sleep cuase ive had this insomnia for about 6 months

How much serequel have you taken? That's odd it keeps you awake...

If you are nocturnal is there a way you can be? I'd go crazy if I had to sleep nights.

lol jimi

and I have taken seroquil before at all different dosages

it gives me this uncontrollable feeling that I have to move

and that's why it keeps me awake cuase when I take it I cant sit still

Rozerem is a good drug that is not habit forming. It is prescription only.

Here is a list of prescription and over the counter meds ---> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypnotic

Yes, Rozerem was given to me (samples), but I never tried it since there was not a generic form at the time (I don't think there is now?) and I can't afford to pay non-generic. But I know it is "a hypnotic used to treat insomnia based on the OTC melatonin supplement" as I happened to look it up today.
I am an insomniac (at this point, nocturnal really) who takes a benzo to keep the nightmares away when I do sleep (usually 7 am to noonish, maybe...but sometimes not at all for a few days, who knows?? Fun!).
Anyway, I refuse to take things like Ambian for the similar reasons you list...I know I will drive in my sleep because I love driving at night and half the reason I am so depressed lives 30 minutes from my house. I don't want to end up ringing his doorbell at 2:30 am and not knowing I am even there, how god awful.
I wish you the best, I hope you can find the right combo for you. Just wanted you to know you are not the only miserable insomniac out there.

good to know im not alone

ambien is not worth it cuase I could drive too I think about that

and my apartment is full of venomous animals like black widows, tarantulas and scorpions,,....

im afraid I could play with them in my sleep and get stung or bit, that's why

im not taking the chance

ill ask my family doctor about sleeping meds but I think im just naturally nocturnal really

im not sure if there is any pill that will help me

id like to be able to sleep normal hours tho

Yeah getting bitten by something venomous because you had no idea you were playing with it while asleep would suck.

I know what you mean though re: sleeping normal hours. I have to try and squish errands into my sleepless haze and my dr. appts too...I don't make anymore in the morning.

I know what u mean

I make all my appointments for 1:30 afternoon at earliest,

and I grociery shop at 1am, the giant near me is open 24/7

Hi ask your Dr for Zopiclone it works for me 100% x

I take Ambien with Thorazine (small doses) and it works great. I have a high benzo tolerance so the thorazine helps sustain the sleep induced by the Ambien.

I did have in "incident" with Ambien that got me in a lot of trouble. I tried a number of other options, in fact almost all, still nothing worked like the Ambien. I went back to it and have had no other problems.

If you don't like Ambien, the closest I got was with temazepam. Sorry, don't know the brand name.

what was your ambien inceident ??

Don't know if they use propiomazine as a sleep med there. It is used here a lot! It's not for me but I know some people who like it.

My incident with Ambien was influenced by being highly triggered during an anniversary. I may have taken more than one, I don't remember anything.

I ended up writing an email that got me into a bunch of trouble. I don't remember writing or sending it. I was surprised to read it two days after when the other person was upset.

But nothing like that has happened before and nothing since. Ambien is notorious for this kind of thing, but it surely isn't alone. Almost the whole class has this potential.

Your sleep pattern has been nuked, you still sleep but at the wrong time. Tell your doc its his job to get it back.

You might have a sleep phase disorder from not sleeping on a regular schedule. That you sleep occasionally from 6 a.m. to Noon is good. But it might take a lot of work to get the time switched around so you are sleeping at night instead of during the day when you sleep.

For once me and sewerrats appear to be on the same wave length.

You do not have insomnia as you are still sleeping a not unreasonable 6 continuous hours in a 24 hour period.

You've just messed up your sleep cycle. Do some research on good sleep hygeine and don't expect an adjustment overnight. Also be aware that coming off some sleeping pills can cause insomnia so liase with your doctor

Has your landlord been notified about the pest concern in your apartment?! I don't think, I'd want to sleep at all, if I had venomous creatures living with me.

Do you have a psychiatrist?! They'd be the ones to prescribe the sleeping pills to you. I personally, question, why general practitioners prescribe meds like these, at all.

Does your job, require you to be up half the night? Hence, sleeping during the day and grocery shopping at 1AM?

Trying to learn to sleep at night, and stay awake during the day, could be something to consider, to help whatever it is, going on with you. What does your doctor(s) say about your sleep schedule?

If it is a sleep cycle issue, melatonin?

hey I saw my family doctor

I told her about my sleeping problem

I told her I didn't wana take ambien cuase it makes people do things while they sleep

and I told her I was on thorazine to sleep before but Ive been off of it for a while

she gave me 28 thorazine pills 50mg each as PRN for sleep

and told me shes only doing that once I need to take it up with a psychiatrist.

Do you have a PDOC, already? It can sometimes, around where I am, take up to 3-4 months for a new patient to get in.

yeah I have a psychiatrist

but I don't like him

I cant get a new one cuase there is only one in the program im in
