> When I was off all medication at one time, I would wake up with anxiety and stomach butterflies. Right before getting out of bed in the morning, I would feel like I was about to have an anxiety attack. I felt nauseous as well. I would wake up in Fogsville, too. I also would feel kinda drunk (though I don't drink). Also, earlier in the day, my mood would be crappy, and I would be in a daze, or Fog.*** Well, that really describes me perfectly, but my Pdoc absolutely insists I'm not Bipolar, in any of it's forms.
As the day, progressed, my mood would drop a little more, then I would have a number of hours of emotional numbness/flat mood. Then later in the day, my mood would be a little elated and I would have more energy, and I would be laughing a lot about silliest things.
**** I don't really go down further like you do, but it does go up again like that, but not too high.

> My sleep was also so extremely messed up, that it was funny ;-D, and I would have few consecutive nights where I would get 1-2 hours of sleep a night and 10 hours on the other nights. Even 8 sleeping pills didn't get me to sleep at times. At work, I would joke about my sleep problems, employees would feel sorry for me and say to me, "I heard you didn't get any sleep last night ;-D". I also played jokes with other coworkers about how I'd bee waking up in a Fog/Daze and talking about "Fogsville".**** I've always had sleep problems, but my sleep isn't too bad right now....maybe I need to do that sleep deprivation thing for a night, as another poster suggested. Hmmmmmm.
What meds and supplements are you taking, and how often during the day...is timing an issue?
Thanks for your response, it really helps me to think things through.
Best regards,
Jas
