Im so tired of this sleep obsession I’ve had for the past 4 years. I never ever had a problem with sleep until this crazy doctor put me on geodon and I started to experience tardive dsykensia and at the time I didnt put 2 and 2 together, I’d just thought I was stressed out. I would stay up for days at a time and literally make myself lay down at 9 pm and by 6 am I was still wide awake. My head would jerk back n forth and my body would shake. I also had no appetite and my weight went down to 90 pounds. I dont take Geodon anymore but ever since then I just cant sleep the same. Im not sure if its just in my head but it is such a big fear of mine now that if I dont go tto sleep at same time everynight I wont sleep. Im so tired of this I go to bed like an old person. seriously 8 pm lol its ridiculous and I miss life. Im barely up more than 13 hours a day but the thing is if I feel like I wont sleep I will self medicate and take too much seroquel than I should. Im only suppose to be on 400 mg and I pushed it all the way up to 700. Its dangerous yet I cant stop the fear is so strong and I just dont know what to do anymore. I miss staying up late and doing things with my boyfriend and I know he is very tired of me barely spending any time with him. I just dont know what to do. seroquel is the only thing that works on me but doubling it every night is very risky. any thoughts?
