I'm having severe insomia. Jerking/ muscle twitches/shocks just when about to fall asleep. I'm as tired as I can get, but part of my mind won't shutdown so I can sleep.
Lunesta isn't helping much -- 3 mg. I'm starting to have all kinds of other symptoms -- toes pulling up on left foot at times, depression geting worse, altered beathing at times,...
Last time I felt this way it was Effexor induced, and my doc gave me Klonopin wafers -- helped a lot. I'm afraid to take 1 mg of Klon. because:
I'm tapering off Klon. and am down to .5 mg from 3 mg. I'm also taking 300 mg Wellbutrin and 100 Lamictal for BP NOS. I'm convinced it's either Klon. discontinuation or Lamictal which is causing problem.
Due to weekend I can't get my pdoc until Tues.. I'm thinking of going to ER, but don't know what they can do -- maybe give me ativan? I seem stuck in a circle and I can't get out.
I know not to use med advise from web, but I need to do something.I will try to read responses, but may not reply today.
(Typing this helped me be more alert, but I'll drop down again when I stop.)
Thanks
