Zannah--
What a beautiful name!
Now, please tell me if you would about how your sleep was disturbed. Like did you not get to sleep or not stay asleep? And how much Wb were you taking when you needed Ambien for sleep?
I never took the Wb late! I learned that lesson in the first year I took it. The silver lining of this deep painful funk right now is that I'm to immobilized to feel bad about having stopped the meds a few weeks back. Don't worry that guilt will kick in then the drugs do, right? dark humor please know I do understand that going off meds is sometimes part of the disease. Yet another quirky way my brain reacts to the unique chemical mix it has goin' on up there. Whatever will it think of next?
Remeron didn't work for me three or four years ago when I took it. Very dizzy and couldn't walk anywhere alone or drive. Not the most helpful for recovering from depression. Benedryl I overused to self medicate before I was first diagnosed several years ago and the very thought of using it again for sleep brings back the most unpleasant memories. I truly do appreciate every little hint at somethat that could help as I am feeling so forlorn.
Thanks for the reminder that I need sedation right now. I tend to resent and fear that fact. I don't want to become dependent on something for sleep. Again, I must gather my remaining wits and remind myself that sleep is good and much needed and not to worry about anything more than the immediate. Even then I'm feeling resigned to the blackness and can't do much anyway. Ugh.
The wait for relief drags on....
