( I get paid on thursday, the only reason wednesday has anything to do with anything at all, lol. so, no funds for refills till thursday. )
I was up and baked some pound cake last night. I was sooo bored. I have a book to read but that doesn't make me tired, it just gets me more into the book and I don't want to put it down. It's not one that I really want to read anyway, one of the girls left it here and it looks like a sappy love story (Dear John it's called, based on a movie I believe).
My psychiatrist wants me to try a new sleep med... along with all the others.... but I have to take it with benedryl. I don't understand why I should want to take a new med if it's only effective with something like benedryl. I am guessing it makes you loopy because of the benedryl.
Right now I'm on Seroquel (an add on for depression, but is used for sleeplessness), Abilify (another add on, but is a tranquilizer), Lunesta, and Xanax (I think that's what it is... I have the generic). Now they want me to go on the one where I need the benedryl yet too.
I stopped taking the wellbutrin during the day, I just didn't like it and I thought it was screwing up my sleep, and I've cut back on my Lexapro, but other than that, I think I just need a really good day of work to make me tired. This happened last summer too. I'd go down to the pool and swim at 2 or 3 am for an hour or so. I've done that a few times this summer, but last night I was at my place (still here) and I don't have a pool or anything like that to go out and do at 3am safely.
SIGH. I so want to go back to bed, but then I know I'll be in trouble tonight.
Whoever asked when I go to bed, it's usually around 10 or 11pm. I've tried going earlier, but that didn't work with the meds. It's like I have to be tired in order for them to work. Last night I took them and I wasn't tired, part of the problem.
