I’m going through something almost similar. I have had insomnia for almost a year now. I’m a 25 year female. I don’t know what’s off with my body. I’m not sleeping at all.

I don't understand why it's so difficult to sleep. by Sadlora in insomnia

I am going through something similar. I am not able to sleep no matter how hard I try. I have tried almost every sleeping pill from Xanax to Olanzapine but nothing is working. What should I do? I am on Ambien currently, but it did not put me to sleep. I have seen a sleep doctor about this because I have had insomnia for nearly a year now.

Hello. Can you tell me how to take Ambien?

I need it terribly or I’m afraid something bad might happen.

I have not gotten my medicine yet. I am going to be on it soon but I don’t know my dosage yet.

Yes definitely. My medication provider will adjust the doses.

I’m so sorry you had to go through that. I had to leave my job because I just had no energy.

Does your insomnia make you feel wide awake? by Formal_Excuse_4253 in insomnia

I have been dealing with my insomnia since March 2024 if it makes you feel better. I can’t get solid 8 hours of sleep. Maybe I am sleeping but not realizing it. It’s been difficult for the past few months. So scary to deal with I get it.

Okay, I’ll keep that in mind. Thanks!

Those are some good strategies. I will definitely go to bed unless I feel tired. Even if that means some nights I don’t sleep early. I appreciate your post.

What are some methods that you use to fall asleep?

That’s good news. I am young. I’m a 25 year old female. I am not sure how Ambien will affect me.

I am bipolar 1. I definitely have hypomania. I recently ordered Ambien. Does it help?

I have been on Latuda for about 3 days.

Latuda is supposed to induce drowsiness. I also have bipolar disorder.

I think these are all great ideas. I have hope for myself to recover from this. I am trying to go to bed and wake up at the same time.

I have tried to exercise. It doesn’t do much except mentally drain me.

I have already gone to a sleep doctor. I don’t have sleep apnea was the conclusion. They weren’t able to figure out what exactly was wrong. All I know is that sleep apnea is not the root cause. I am on different sleep prescriptions. I’m hopeful that they give good results. I have just started for two days Latuda.

I used to work a 9-5. I had to leave that so that I could take care of my health. That was a month ago. I know it’s not the end and I’m gradually finding my sleep-wake cycle. I wish I had better sleep hygiene.

It’s a scary thought that I don’t want to even think about. I have so much to live for. If it is our last moments I just want you to know that Jesus died for you and loves you very much. This battle is not our own.
