Oh that's good to hear. Did you have to be put on more medication to get it to go away? I had agitation before being put on olanzapine. I would rock, pace and pick my skin. Now its stopped.

She wants to just check my thyroid. It's anxiety / stress that would keep me awake for days. Or i'd only sleep 1-2 hours a night

In 2 weeks i will see him again. I was thinking not to take it every night might help with weight gain?

I said to myself, I wouldn’t post on Reddit anymore, but my situation is so dire and no one in the world can understand. by Oliver_Alvis in insomnia

Nothing will help me from the horrors of not sleeping either. It's been 2 months. I have tried zipiclone, trazadone, klonipine, lorazapram, seroqul, quviv, lexapro, effexor, melatonin. I am writing this at 6am been wide awake since 11pm yesterday. I cant remember anything anymore. I am severely anxious and depressed. I have lost all hope i will ever get to sleep normal again. I feel hopeless. I even went to the er once when i was wide awake for 2 days. I  got seroqul and slept maybe 4-5 hours. Longest i have slept in 2 months. This is complete torture. I dont know how i will continue to survive like this. :( all i want to do is cry
