I know this is med related, cause every time I go off of the meds (even for a few days) waking up is not a problem. Yet I go back on the Neurontin and Klonopin... and waking up in the morning is impossible.

It's gotten so bad that I've missed very important meetings and appointments.

There have been many times that I've stayed up for several days. Was the mania? Could be. Yet it was more like avoiding going to sleep so I could avoid having to wake up.

I'll either miss the alarm completely, go right back to sleep, or lay in bed unable to move for about an hours. The first couple hours of my day I am in a complete haze.

I have somewhere to be tomorrow at 1 PM. I know if I go to sleep I won't be able to make it. So? I'm gonna have to stay up through the night.

There's gotta be another way. This isn't healthy. Yet what should I do? Find different meds? Take them at a different time? I usually take them in the morning. Change the dose?

I don't wanna have anymore panic attacks or mood swings, but not being able to wake up is causing a lot of difficulty in my every day funcitoning.

wow i've been having the same problem. But for me it's like i'm stuck in the dream fighting to wake up though. I dunno if that's what you're experiencing.
