The difference in my life between a year ago and now proves that; even though my doctors kept encouraging me to not give up hope that something would work I know that nobody thought it would be something that actually exists right now. It's almost funny now; I'm over-sedated and we agree on this, but we're all far too afraid to reduce the drugs that really do it. I was going to reduce 1/8th of a Seroquel until suddenly I came up with an alternative and botht he doctor and I visibly relaxed. Even though 1/8th (25 mg) shouldn't be much....<BR/><BR/>The thing is, for me, sleep is the most challenging part. I didn't sleep even as an infant. Anything that messes with my sleep much be strongly avoided. This rule will never change, because any time I have a bad night for any reason on earth I start to have cycling. One night this week I couldn't fall asleep until 2 and the symptoms were much more at the surface until I got some extra rest.<BR/><BR/>I've been on everything for sleep. Rozeram was the only thing that worked half-decently, but I only got to try it once because I'm very, very allergic to it and woke up with my whole face swollen and a rash all over. I do use Ambien when in the midst of absolute mania, but it doesn't really work. <BR/><BR/>So, my body would have to work a whole lot more consistently than it has in my life, for a long time, before this would be trustworthy. I trust things to go well now, but I really doubt I'll ever trust it that much.Just Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01085642883987294862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21050713.post-46948815639347022922008-03-29T06:44:00.000-04:002008-03-29T06:44:00.000-04:00Don't judge the future by the present. If you can ...Don't judge the future by the present. If you can get a few years of stability under your belt, so to speak, you may find that you are able to tolerate a lot of things that you once couldn't. Somehow I'm much better with crowds now. And with my ambien to help me sleep, I can make time changes pretty easily. Italy may be in your future!Jean Greyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13826037279061710386noreply@blogger.com
