Thank you Jules, that is so nice of you. How are you doing?
I went to my family doctor today and he gave me lunesta. My pdoc thought lunesta was a type of benzo which it is not. He had some good ideas and said before we go the AD route let's try something, not everyday at first, to see if we can find a base for you. He wants me to get some ground beneath me so we can go from there. I will try to sleep on my own but if I wallow for an hour I will take lunesta.
One thing he did say is that he thought my W/D would be over after almost 8 weeks. He did admit that clinical/real cases tell the real picture. I told him that I feel like I have missed so much the last 5 years that I am still trying to make sense of things by feeling again. I told him the sleep stuff was taking it's toll. He does want to run some tests and I agree(cortisol and tetosterone). I asked him why the over sex drive one day and then almost adverse to it the next? That is why the tests. I am not manic so what is the deal? At least never been diagnosed bipolar. Because the lack of sleep doesn't make me get anything done that is for sure.
One day ready to just live and the next ready to run away and hide. Ups and downs are the pits.
take care
johnny
