Somnolence

Rapid Weight Loss on Victoza - Is It Normal?

Listening to your body is important. Most people get a little **sleepy** in the mid-late afternoon. For me, it can help to think about why I am doing the task I'm trying to do. Do I need to do the dishes? I need to do the dishes so that I have clean dishes to eat off of. It's important to have clean dishes bc if I don't, I won't want to eat or make food to eat. If I don't eat, I'm not taking care of my body and I'm putting myself at risk for getting a migraine or worsening my anxiety and depression. By identifying why the task must be completed, sometimes it can help me justify to myself why I need to spend my energy on it.

Looking for a Narcolepsy Medication to Stay Awake During the Day

Can a Psychiatrist Take Away Diagnoses After One Visit?

I am on Seroquel, but I'm on a lot of medication that should make me **drowsy**, and still have frequent insomnia. I took ambien for about a week. That stuff kept me awake for 3 days. Like, 72 hours 3 days. 2 of those days were 12 hour night shifts at a hospital. And I was so alert and with it. It was crazy. I've taken Lorazepam, and it made me a little wired. I tend to have the opposite effect on a lot of medications than the intended use. I take seroquel as a 3 medication combination for intracranial hypertension. IH is very painful and noisy if you aren't on medication for it. Sometimes it affects me even with medication. I'm thankful for the medicine, whether I sleep or not.
