Walterwhite10 Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 My sleep had being going well in the past week. But since Sunday I've barley sleeping. I'm going crazy I've barley got any sleep in the past 3 days. Like at least 4-5 hours and I'm going mad. I'm not hallucinating or anything, I am just not falling asleep like my brain won't go on off mode. My eyes just feel like they burn a bit. I don't have many headaches they are coming back and forth. Sometimes my heart races but sometimes it doesn't. I've had a few panic attacks. take avanza 60mg, oxazepam 15mg before bed. I also have 5mg mogadon, If I cannot fall asleep at all I take that, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't . I took those the past nights and when I was sleeping well. But the Sunday night after dinner i was watching tv and started to feel funny while watching the tv so I stopped watching and went for a walk. I was feeling like it on the walk. When I got back home I started to go away a bit but it was coming back and my stupid mind thought it was a good idea to continue watching tv. Then I got it again, stopped watching tv after a while and went to lay down in the dark. Didn't have it when I would lay down in the dark but if I turn the light on I would feel that dizzy feeling from watching tv. So then that night I happened to be awake all night even with all the meds. Next day was horrible I had lots of nausea and time went very very slowly. Didn't eat anything but chicken schnitzel. That night I switched everything off 2 hours before bed and read a magazine I bought that day. I read it for a while, then I started to feel like going to sleep so around this night I didn't get to sleep for a while. I think I might've slept from around 2-4 hours around that night, but I can't remember falling asleep or waking up. The next day I felt a bit better wasn't naused had a big subway footlong for lunch and then the chicken schnitzel for dinner. Then I did the same thing as the night before switched everything off and read my magazine for a while and I ended up getting about zero sleep or maybe half an hour. My Gp is booked for all today so I have to wait until tommorrow. And i have tried literally everything to fall asleep, I repeat nothing works, I repeat nothing works. I have tried warm milk, relaxation music, self hypnosis, excessive amount of exercise (which I'm not up to now), going off electronics and reading instead etc. I don't understand why, every youtube comment I see say it works for them. With self hyponsis tapes I listen to the voice and everything it does. I still don't even feel tired. I don't know how it works for people people give it 5 stars, i feel like giving them 0 stars. It doesn't make any sense at all. My mum who has sleeping problems said she was out in 5 minutes of relaxation music. I've also been taking 3 km walks every day since around June 12 and that has helped improve me sleep, but the Sunday I didn't have time to do it and it stuffed it up. I took the walks Monday and Tuesday. just don't know what to do. I feel horrible and feel like dying... My mum is thinking of putting me in a hospital . I feel it's near impossible to sleep now, my brain refuses to switch off. What's going on with me?? I used to go to sleep like a baby. But ever since I have graduated from school there has been nothing but stress and anxiety and insomnia since it. Some days I don't even have any stress and anxiety and I still can't sleep. I don't have a job because of the way I am in. I want to sleep tonight, I really need help before I have the biggest panic attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Equivilency Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Could be stress, mania, anxiety, or insomnia. Best to see your doctor asap. You may need a sleep study or sleeping meds. If you have no access to sleeping meds try benadryl. Tylenol PM might work too but I wouldn't take it every night.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walterwhite10 Posted June 25, 2014 Author Share Posted June 25, 2014 I do have sleeping meds. I've tried temezapam and mogadon. Temezapam didn't work. Mogadon however worked a few times. But not that much. I don't know what the point of trying Benadryl is if temezapam and mogadon barley work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melissaw72 Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 To me, it sounds like anxiety, but I could be wrong. From what you write though it is similar to how I feel when my anxiety is high. Have you tried xanax or klonopin? I would definitely tell your DR about all of this. There are a lot of meds out there that can help a person sleep (trazodone, seroquel, ambien, benzos, and others I'm sure that I am not thinking of at the moment). I hope you can get some sleep soon.

unsanity Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 I have found melatonin (2mg, extended release) quite helpful. I know a lot of people don't, but I really did. I think if the problem is that you sleep is 'out of line' eg. you're not getting tired until 3am, then it is quite helpful. However for pure insomnia it is less helpful. Seroquel put me straight to sleep (and depending on your diagnosis, moving onto a more 'sedating' antipsychotic/ drug may help. As mentioned above, there are benzos, "Z drugs" etc. so get in touch with your Dr and I'm sure you'll find something that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
