meds affecting sleep
Posted: 06-25-08 20:47pm

I was just wondering if anyone has or is going through this same issue. When I first started my new cocktail, I would sleep all night in a deep sleep. The house could burn down and I probably would not be aware. I have been on this new cocktail about a month now and probably have reach a blood level. I say this because I have now been up over 48 hours with about 4 hours sleep and that is counting a nap. I even took my usual 1mg Zanex. Right now I am just starting to feel a bit sleepy. Has or is there anyone else on the board gone or going through this. Should I just stick with it. I see my doctor again in two weeks.

Any input is welcome.

I\'d stick with it until your next appointment. It could be a phase that goes away. But if it\'s too terrible, try get in earlier? If it doesn\'t go away, and you still want to stick with the meds you\'re on... try the light therapy thing. sunny sunny
