Hi Amy,
I can sure identify with insomnia. I left a voicemail for my pdoc that went something like this.
Hi, it's Poet, it's 2.am. Tuesday, and I haven't slept in 24, no 28, wait 36 hours. I took five, was it five? Gabitril and all I did was twitch. I think maybe I need something else? Call me. It's not urgent. I've been awake longer, I think, before. Anyway, call me.
(I got a call at 8:30 that morning, so I must have sounded totally crazed.)
Over the counter sleep meds don't work for me. Ambien stopped working. I'm now on seroquel. That stuff just plain stops my thoughts from going round and round in their negative rut. Have you tried taking any over the counter or prescription meds?
This insomnia will pass, you just have to find what will knock it out, so to speak.
Your Sister in Insomnia
