I'm going to bed around 10pm and waking by midnight or 1am. And then I just toss and turn without sleeping until the sun comes up. I have never slept this bad my whole life. It's awful. It's depressing. It's causing depression. Crying fits. You can't heal from anything if you can't sleep. I am stuck there at the moment.
Tried Benadryl 25mg. Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Tried 50mg, again, nothing, but gave me a terrible headache and a bad day of depression.
Tried my old dependable standbys Passionflower, Lemon Balm and Skullcap before bed. They gave a nice warm natural feeling sleep but I still woke at midnight and it was hell after that. Tonight I may try double doses of those and maybe add Valerian.
Zyprexa was the second-best sleep I ever had in my life and I wouldn't mind about 2.5mg of that right now.
Ritalin was the best sleep of my life and I just got a prescription for that filled.
Mold toxins somehow upset the phenylalanine chemistry in our bodies. Which obviously would tie directly into mood, sleep and energy. That's what it feels like - too much adrenaline. The louder whistling in my ear tells me something is going on, and I know from experience in the past that my tinnitus is related to the noradrenaline circuitry.
GABA supplements maybe. Might try that.
Lunesta would be awesome tonight if I had one. But I don't.
I am, quite frankly, shocked at how rapidly my health went from relatively stable to train wreck. And the only new thing is mold toxins.
