No, I don’t typically fall asleep without warning during the day. It generally happens like this–one night I get no sleep, and the next, I get 6 hours from my sleep window. After getting that 6 hours of sleep, my body finally “feels” the tired and it wants more. The sleepy feeling wears off later in the day.
How are you doing? I too feel sad and cry sometimes, but I think it’s our body’s way of releasing fatigue. Have a cry and let your body heal a bit.
How are you doing? I’m sitting here at 4:15 am watching Netflix, not having slept this night. I haven’t been obsessing or worrying too much, just not sleeping. Yes, a test of resilience.
OH, I love all of this. What a sweet mom you have. Thanks for sharing.
Some of my good things include walking 2 miles a day with my dog, enjoying a fresh smoothie every morning, soaking up the sun in my yard, starting my sleep window bc it means I’m on a path to healing, and going out to lunch with my husband and daughter.
Hope you’re doing well.Thanks Buddy370!
For withdrawal symptoms, I’ve experienced insomnia, tinnitus, foggy brain, and sweaty/hot spells. Still having lots of tinnitus, and sweaty/hot flashes. Foggy brain is getting better, and I’m working on the insomnia, but it’s better than it was.
Last night was my first sleep window night, and it wasn’t too bad. A little tired today, but I’m doing all the things and filled with hope.
How are you doing?
Ahh, you are so much like me. I’ve also just gone through menopause. I took Paxil for 5-6 years for insomnia, and it really helped calm the panic and let me sleep for the first 2-3 years. Since then, it hasn’t worked well, and the doc put me on Zoloft at the beginning of this year. Zoloft was not any better for sleep, so I quit in March. The first few weeks I got very little sleep, but now I’m sleeping a bit more, although it’s like every other night. lol. I’m starting Martin’s program tonight, and I’m also a bit worried about what the Zoloft withdrawal means for me and how it might affect my success. I’d love to keep in touch and support each other. All the best!
Hi Buddy!
I recently quit Zoloft and have had terrible insomnia. The first 8 weeks or so I couldn’t sleep, but I wasn’t worried about it, as the Zoloft was still in my system, helping with anxiety. The insomnia was from quitting Zoloft, and not from my worry. Now, at 11 weeks post Zoloft, the worry is creeping in, and I’m really struggling. I want to start Martin’s program, but I need to make sure the Zoloft is out of my system. Lately, my sleep is night on, night off. Last night was a night with no sleep. Does this help at all?
