2 months ago my sleeping meds (trazodone) stopping working for me aftee 5+ years. In the laat month ive tried new med after new med that just didnt work. One actually had me in ER because it rasied my blood sugar very high (type 1 diabetic) & my insulin wouldnt bring it back down.
Last night was my first night trying ambien for the second time in 15 years. The first time i didnt have a good experience. I was sleep walking & such. But it was a much higher dose back then. My doctor put me on the lowest dose. (5mg) i can take one & if in 60mins im still not sleeping i can take another.
It took me about an hour to fall asleep & then i woke up about 5 or 6 times. I dreamt a lot but dont remember much from the dreams & felt like i never got into a deep sleep. I dont know if part of that was because of my anxiety.
Im hoping tonight i can sleep a little better.
The little to no sleep is cauaing my anxiety/panic disorder to be much worse. My depression too.
Im trying to get back into thearpy but everyone around has a waitlist right now.
Ive alwaslys been referred for a sleep study but they are full till march right now so its looking like i should be getting that done in april.
