Okay, "kinda" is a bit of an understatement.

It's as obvious like it was right under my nose...

This reminds me of a terrible song lyric.... "You've been searching the world to find true love, looking in all the wrong places. When all of the time you've been blind to love, it's plain as the nose on your faces." XD

I used to take ambien for sleep, but I didn't like it much. I have a problem with both getting to sleep and staying asleep. I tried Melatonin but that didn't work much. Maybe I should try again. Now I sometimes take benadryl and the like, but that always makes me super groggy when I wake up.

lmao that's horrible. Who sings that?

How much melatonin did you take? I did fine with 1 mg (I think it's mg >.>), but I forgot that was what I was taking and when I bought a new bottle, I got 10 mg time-release ones. XD That actually does make it hard for me to wake up, when I take a full one, so I've been taking half pills with this bottle. XD

 

So you can take various dosages of melatonin, and some are meant to help you stay asleep... It might not work, of course, but it might be worth a shot to try extra-concentrated pills.

 

Ugh, yeah, benadryl is killer on me and Ny-Quil knocks me out forever. XD

 

Never tried Ambien.

ambien's good. i've known junkies who couldn;t handle nyquil.

It's from the Lizzie McGuire movie soundtrack....

 

Hopeless romantic that I am, I love it, but that lyric is HORRID. XD

You have to get a prescription for ambien though, don't you?

have you tried the time release ambien?

yes, my psychiatrist is very helpful.

 

there's way better sleep meds to move on to if that don;t work, like seroquel and elavil and all, but i like to take the least i can get by with

*nodnod* I agree. I try to take as little medication as I can.

 

I don't think my doctor would give me a prescription for ambien, since apparently my sleep problems come and go....

 

I did see a psychiatrist for a while, this time last year, and she thought I had bipolar II, but I tried Geodon (TERRIBLE HATE IT HATE IT) and Abilify, and when I moved, stopped seeing the psych, and ran out of Abilify, I was totally fine. Like, my bipolar signs were gone, etc....happened to coincide with spring/summer.....

 

Anyway, I did a sleep study once and apparently I'm "fine," but melatonin's made a difference so whatever, as long as I can sleep. XD

Speaking of doctors...

I need to call and set up an appointment to have my thyroid levels tested.

And then set up a consultation....

So I can talk to my doctor and maybe she'll agree to try a higher dosage of my med...

So maybe for once in my life I can feel normal physically. XD

Also, so I can get more of my meds anyway. They won't authorize it after this month until I get my levels checked.

Crazy people. XD

At least it forces me to make an effort to talk to my doctor about raising the dose.

Been wanting to do that for a while now anyway, just been too unmotivated. XD

i never knew what normal was so i dont miss it

I think the last time my levels were checked, one of the levels was kind of low...but I don't remember which... XD

i never knew what normal was so i dont miss it

I did, for 7/8ish glorious years of my life.
