Hello Breanne,
you are right, the ultimate decision is mine. But i find people's advice helps me think! Thanks for the reply!
Hello Joe,
wow almost a week. No wonder you felt weird lol and yeah, you do wake up forgetting lol Glad to hear your sleep is better now, and thanks for the tips. I will keep them in mind!
Hello Miki,
Oh vivid dreams can be bad too. Glad you don't have those issues now! I think the half pill at first is a great idea. Thanks! I think I will try the pills. I do need sleep pretty badly. Not tonight though or the next 72 hours as I am on concussion watvch lol. BTW, what is a scissors lock?
HEllo Faryal,
Yes lack of sleep is taking its toll. And yeah, I am glad my doctor is on it too! I think I must be reacting differently as my body is uncoordinated and I am accident prone. Plus, I amtired, sad and more anxious.
And yes, I have heard of sleep clinics. My docor actuallt is prescribing me a visit at a sleep clinic in my region to check exactly what you said, sleep apnea lol. I guess you and her think alike.
She is covering all the bases lol
Thank you for tje reply and the advice!
Hiya CD,
20 years of sleeplessness! O.O Yeah i get that. I am easily going on 15 years of bad sleep patterns and all sorts of insomnina....Some periods are better then others. this is not one of them. as for ONLy waking upo 5 or 6 times sheesh! Sorry to hear you have so much trouble with your sleep! I empathize with you, I truely do!
Me, once I am truely asleep I am not aware of waking up too often. I would say once or twoce at best. My problem is falling asleep as in I can't seem to! Takes forever! I also jerk awake inhaling wildly everytime I go to fall asleep some night which is well anxiety inducing and not so sleep conducive lol.
So yeah, I think I will try the sleeping pills. I will take them only one night when I cannot fall asleep though. I will try and be in bed at regular hours and will take a pill only after trying to sleep without them. But if I cannot sleep I will take them so I get proper sleep. and I will try them but only till my appointment in two months. I know for sure I do not want to take them long temr. But I am trying to give them a try to see if I am more rested, less sad and on a better sleep cycle by then. So yeah, that is my decision on the sleeping pill issue. As for my anxiety pills. I will continue to have them PRN and I will be sure not to exceed a t preset amount of pills for my year as my doctor recommended! Also, I will make sure my husband is aware of all my pills and how many I take so he can keep and eye on me.
As for trying the pills since they are new I will only try them on a weekend night when I have time to recuperate if I do not like them. Plus I will take them early and my husband promised to stay up late to keep an eye on me lol. anyway, I won't try them in the next 72 hours as I hit my head and am on concussion watch lol. I don't want to miss symptoms for being doped up lol.
Anyway, thanks all of you for helping me figure this all out! Was a toughie for me. Feel better now that I have a plan of action and some set boundaries!
