But what could make a person like me wake up in the middle od the dawn always at same time for damn 6 years??
What sickness is that?
If it’s not sleep apnea what is it?I think it’s my stomach problem,probably stomach as a muscle is contracted and when you don’t sleep acid in stomach accumulates a lot,besides I have hiatus hernia so God knows what is causing me the pain.
But I’m sure it’s stomach but don’t know exact cause.
It hurts so much and I barely breath.I had to stop clozapine by my own will,because I got severe ocular pressure and metabolic syndrome associated with it..
Now horrible rebound insomnia,clozapine was the only drug that could give me like 8-10 h sleep but I was so fu..ed up tomorrow.
Now I slept in weird sleep rhytm.
I fall asleep around 21:30-22:00 until 00:30-01:00 and that is it.
I suddenly wake up without any reason.
Usually I need to go to toilet.
All my blood analysis are okay.
I feel so exhausted and dunno what is worse to be exhausted like this and have pain the in the stomach,joints,nausea,headaches compared to drowsiness from clozapine.
I was afraid I will develop glaucoma so I had to stop clozapine.so still no sleep,last week I ended 2 nights/days without a sleep.
For like 3 weeks I feel dissociated.
A week ago psychiatrist gave me Clozapine,God this is not a pill this is a death.
I took it last 3 days,and I couldn’t function at all.
I had a good sleep for 10 hours but all day long I felt deattached from the world,can’t think,can’t read,can’t concentrate,can’t even pay a simple bill.
Psychiatrist told me I have to take it but I really don’t want to because I feel like a plant on it.
I wish it only sedates me but it doesn’t it’s like a feeling you see all around yourself in a fog.
What can I do?
I went to somnologist to other country and he gave me a pill,too this time Tegretol,and I didn’t take it since it has nasty side effects same as Clozapine.
Wherever I go they all give me pills for epilepsy,schizophrenia.
I can’t take this anymore,and I can’t take insomnia too.
What else is left for me to try,please help me?since Sunday I slept all in total 8 hours.
I feel very very ill,exhausted,my brain is slow.
God,is there an end to this misery!
Last 2 nights 0 sleep even with seroquel.
What can I do anymore?
I went to like 100 doctors,tried everything,I mean I don’t even know if there is a single thing I didn’t try.whats is the difference,there is no single doctor who can enter his or my brain and tell it to shut down so we can fall asleep.
What is the difference between circadian rhythm disorder and chronic insomnia?Doctors still prescribing me meds.
But this solution won’t work futher more,as I’ve been told that this med losses effectiveness as hypnotic very soon,then I’m back at the start.
None of the doctors told me why I have insomnia,I mean if it’s because shiftwork probably now that after 5 months I would sleep normally but I don’t cuz I still have to take meds.From Monday Pregabalin doesn’t work anymore to get my fall asleep.
Now all hell broke loose.
I’l talk to my doctor today,but there is nothing that can be done,since I’m taking pills for 4.5 years.
He well probably suggest back to Clozapin (which is living hell taking it,drowsy,sleepy,dissociated all day,I am literally tied up on bed) or to not take any pills,but we all tried both solutions and the result is very bad.
Not taking any pills made me not to sleep 72 hours and then I was given Largactil IM.
So what do you guys suggest me to do?Is it possible that my brain acts like some kind of alarm,always waking up at that time?
Well I trie a lot of pills,really a lot,more then 15.
I’m taking now pregabalin 75 mg before sleep.
But it works 2 nights then third night I have to take clonazepam already 1 mg to put me to sleep.
But that is not relaxing sleep,cuz I wake up tired,probably no deep sleep from benzos.after 48 h of like 2-3 h of sleep total,I had to take klonopin last night to get some rest.
Although I don’t feel fresh at all.
When I woke up,one thought came to my mind:WHAT IF MY SLEEP NEVER COMES BACK NATURALLY.
I’m scared like shit…
is there anything that can help withput these damn meds?
Anything to get my sleep back for at least 4 hours naturally?
Martin you said that shiftwork was the issue,man I don’t work for 4 months and still my sleep is not coming back.
For one thing I know sadly,I ended many times third night can not fall asleep and taking meds.
I really can’t believe no one can tell what is the cause of my insomnia.
I mean how do blind man sleep.
So I know it’s risky to try to sleep without antipsychotic but taking sdatives long term probably is not solution anymore but psychiatrist don’t agree,they tell me there is a high chance to end up sadly in psychosis.
I took klonopin for more then a year but I read somewhere that klonopin deletes REM sleep permanently in humans so I got scared.
I started going to CBT for like 10 sessions but it didn’t help.
I really can’t take clozapine,quetiapine,zyprexa anymore,they make me groggy all day long and I feel deatached from reality.
Hmm second option is to try sleep on my own,but this is impossible mission for me.
What can I do?I don’t have third option really,and I need sleep desperatly.
I know if I don’t sleep for one night now,I feel terrible,and that I won’t sleep the second night probably because fucked up hormones.
