the last 4-5 days i have gotten almost no sleep at all. today i actually maybe got 1 hour of sleep or maybe 2. and i dunno if it was a coincidence but after waking up i was all shakey, had a lot of mental pain, and depression just far more severe than the period where i was attempting to sleep the whole night. now a bit after the completely horrid feeling is lessened.
what will happen if i continue to get only 1-2 hours or sleep a night. it seems i am never tired. i dont even yawn. actually i maybe yawned once. and normally when someone doesn't get enough sleep their eyes would hurt. mine would. but they dont seem to hurt at all. also i am losing a lot of weight. i can hardly get myself to eat anything.
i am thinking of going back on zyprexa. it saved me once when i was suicidal. it made me feel better, eat more, sleep a lot, but i was always sleepy during day time on it. at least it progressed that way. more and more sleepy. would lowering the dose have helped?
anyway maybe i should try seroquel. AP's have been the only reliable meds for my severe dep and anxiety.
i see my new pdoc on june 5th, meanwhile i dunno what to do. i am currently taking paxil 5 days or so. it makes me feel like a zombie but maybe much of this is just due to feeling much worse these past 6 days. often i feel quite suicidal and hopeless.
does risperdal help people sleep? maybe i can take that. until i see doctor.
but i really really need to eat. so perhaps i can get something from family doctor.. i dunno
