Sleep!

posted by [personal profile] askye at 10:48am on 21/10/2003
I haven't been sleeping well. Okay, partly I shouldn't be staying up chatting late at night I know that.

But also it wouldn't matter anyway because when I do take my meds well before I need to go to bed waiting to get sleepy nothing happens. I called into my shrinks and was told I would have to see him.

But night before last I don't think I slept more than 30 mins straight. It was horrible. So I called them today and explained the situation and the receptionist said "Why don't I just ask him if he'll call in a prescription. The worst he can do is say no." I wanted to kiss her. Why didn't someone do that in September when I asked????

So now I have a prescription for Ambien waiting for me to pick it up. YAY. God, I'm so excited I can hardly wait. I'm going to be able to sleep tonight.

I'm going to see my shrink tomorrow and discuss my sleep problems, but she wouldn't prescribe anything without seeing me. Depression issues, I suppose, but still...

I probably wouldn't have gotten a sight unseen scrip for Ambien except I'd been on it before and I only got enough to last until my next appt (which is in November).

I don't know how I could last, I could barely make it to class today and I don't think I was really all that safe driving this morning I was that sleepy.

I was really sleepy this morning too, and considered taking a cab as opposed to walking, but the cooler air woke me up a bit.

It's weird, I can sleep and sometimes have no trouble falling asleep, but I have vivid dreams and don't get quality sleep.

Ambien R000LZ!

Really, I found it a godsend when I had such bad insomnia (that was related to depression, which you may or may not recall; I really don't expect my internet friends to remember every detail of my life).

Half a pill works very well for me, so you might want to try that. Take half a pill, and if you aren't asleep in half an hour, take the other half. A whole pill leaves me groggy the next day, although I might just be extra-sensitive to the medication.

Good for your receptionist for asking, and your doctor for calling it in!

I don't know who this receptionist is but she's a godsend. Much better than the one who seemed to think it was okay that I wait a month and half to get relief. Both times I said lack of sleep was interfering with my daily life and I got two different repsonses.

If I remember before I was kind of resistant to Ambien but, god, I'm so tired right now it's all I can do to remain up right, I'm kind of worried about how I'll do driving home.

I'm going to bed as early as I can tonight in celebration of Ambien.
