Thanks Wonder! Today was one of those trying days. I got a dazzling four hours sleep last night, met my woman friend for coffee this morning, hit the mall with my girls for Christmas shopping and tonight put up the Christmas tree. I have an appointment with my doctor on Monday where we will discuss this AD thing! Since I've been taking low dose AD's my sleeping is worse. I average about five hours per night unless I take a Lorazepam before bed. I don't take them unless I've had a couple of poor nights in a row. But, the reality is, I don't need the AD's so badly that I can put up with insomnia. My worst times come when I'm lacking sleep. I've had some issues with sleep ever since that never ending virus hit me but it's worse since I started the AD's. I talked to the Pharmacist the other day and asked her whether I could take the AD in the morning rather than the evening to see if that made a difference. We worked out a plan but I'm still not sleeping well. Pharmacist says that these AD's can create insomnia in some people (I looked it up and it's about 12%). So I may ditch these things after talking to my doctor. I talked to my woman friend today and she's apparently on the same AD's as me but she takes eight times what I do and sleeps fine! She has the opposite problem to me, I can fall asleep instantly but wake up after four or five hours whereas she can't fall asleep but once she does she can sleep endlessly. Anyway, when I'm not getting a decent sleep it's very difficult to re-direct my thinking and stop the stupid, obsessive stuff. So, that's where Whatis is today. Tonight I take a Lorazepam and sleep my butt off...that's the plan anyway and I will hopefully be more myself in the morning. I just needed to vent guys.
