I’m not doing too I’m shattered even now yesterday I only got an hours sleep earlier in the afternoon and an the night before and il lying here now think I’ve only had half hour I’m phoning my doc in the morning I can’t this it’s horrible and scary I’ve had bad nights sleep in the past but not like this I honestly feel like crying my eyes out I’m a 33 year old man with a nice parter and a beautiful 2 year old daughter and my life feels crap I hate this wish I cud rewind and go back a couple of weeks
Did you just come off of antidepressants. That can cause those brain shocks you speak of. If you come off too quickly strange things can happen it happened to me it also increases insomnia a lot.
No just weaned of them think it’s just my overactive mind of my anxiety and panic I’ve been taking mirtazapine the last two nights the first night I got about 5-6 hours sleep and last night I got about 3+ hours but hey I’m happy with that as it’s better then 0 or 1 or 2 hours so I’m very grateful it’s going to be a long process with good times but I’m going to try not to worry about it as much and give it a go with this medication my doc has put me on hopefully it works but I think my problem is my overactive anxiety mind as before I was ok before with sleep as I’d have 4 or 5 hours sleep on a normal night and I was fresh as a daisy the next day that was my sleep pattern I loved it compared to now but I’m gunna fight this and hopefully get back to that it’s going to hard but we can only try
Could I ask why you weaned off the antidepressants? Were there side effects or they just didn’t work anymore? Hopefully this new medication will help with the anxiety and thoughts and panic. I have those problems too and I could never sleep if I wasn’t on some medication for those symptoms
I come of them because of my health anxiety was getting better and had been on them for 8 years but yeah these tablets are great I woke this morning feeling great I had over 7 hours sleep without waking up I feel great just I can do it if I think positive I also tried brown noise on YouTube for sleep which I think relaxed me last night took me about an hour to sleep but better then taking 3 or 4 I hope it stays this way it was great getting up early having sleep and a nice coffee lol. I hope everyone can do it because it can be done
