In reply to risperdal helps with sleep? » oona, posted by adamie on June 2, 2002, at 12:34:03
Adamie,
It helped "me" with sleep.
Of course I do still take the benadryl or tylenol pm, but before the Risperdal, the benadryl was NOT working and I would waken frequently or would not be able to go back to sleep after the third time that I woke up. I am not sure if it is the combation of the Celexa with the Risperdal or the fact that I am bone tired after a full day of working.Plus, I am over 50 and the old hormones dont kick in anymore so I do not have the monthly insanity that I had for over 40 years, except when I was pregnant, then would have the baby blues afterwards. What a life!
Just do it one day at a time. I know that sounds stupid and insensitive cuz I have been where you are now. But looking back, I wish that I could have just kicked back a little and not taken every darn thing so personaly or had lived in less of a drama. Even now the old feelings come back and I will find myself in that black place or find myself endlessly doing some stupid task when I am exhausted. I just have to talk to myself and try to stop and bring myself back to reality.
I hope you can find some little happiness and peace in small things, even for a minute at a time. A babies smile can work a miracle.
