I haven't slept since Sunday night.

And it’s now Wednesday afternoon.

Shoot me.

Insomnia or work? I have these lovely blue pills that my doctor gave me. I take one and I’m out for 12 hours straight.

I recently started taking a second medication to help with the insomnia (likely contributed to by the first medication) but it doesn’t seem to be working. I just can’t sleep. :frowning:

I’m totally exhausted, halfway incoherant, disoriented, etc… but I can’t sleep. I’m actually HYPER in my third day of no sleep.

Oh, hon! I’ve had just enough insomnia to be completely sympathetic to anyone having trouble with it.

Would it be worth it to call your doctor? Sleep deprivation of this sort can’t be good, mentally or physically.

Opalcat, definately go to your doctor, or call and see if he can up the dosage of the sleeping medication. Trust me, I’ve been one of the medicated masses, and unless you fix the problem NOW, it’ll only get worse!

Opal dear friend, did you call the doc? That is soooooo bad for you!

Call the doc, if you haven’t. And, it does help a lot of you read a book and then just lay back at least and rest your eyes.

What medications are you taking (list all of them)? and what dosages?


If at first you don’t succeed you’re about average.

Opal–Oh, man. I sympathize. When I was going through insomnia, my doctor told me to try some relaxation techniques. She also said that reading would make it worse (especially since I told her that I was reading a lot of Stephen King). I ignored that advice and read my horror novels anyway. The one that finally put me to sleep was called “Insomnia.” No, I’m not making it up. I still haven’t been able to get past a few pages without falling asleep.
Seriously, though, go to a doctor. And I hope you’re having sweet dreams soon. Take care of yourself.

Opal, you could always bring up the Earth is Flat thread. You’ll be asleep by page two! :wink:

Seriously though, time to get those meds adjusted. Good luck.

Forget the doctor. Take advantage of your situation to get some long overdue errands done. And since you’re not sleeping, don’t just sit there! Clean up! Tidy! If you’re not gonna sleep might as well make yourself useful.
