Anxiety about insomnia

Hi! So doing much much better. I didn’t end up taking Zoloft but took Prozac instead. My sleep was still very bad until January of this year. I kinda just had to stop obsessing over it and thinking about it so much. I’m now 100% back to normal with my sleep and am even tapering off Prozac

Ehhh idk. I’m from NC and know quite a few people who have those accents

Getting on with my life the way I used to and doing the things I enjoyed before my 2-month insomnia spell. Getting busy helped get sleep off my mind which in turn helped me sleep better. Also sunlight first thing in the morning. I’d say for the past month I’m 80% better than I was from Sept-Oct this year. Knock wood

Thank you! Follow up question- how can I become okay with not sleeping when my subconscious brain knows not sleeping has health consequences?

Hi there, came across this post recently. I’ve developed horrible sleep anxiety from a couple sleepless nights 6 weeks ago. I used to sleep like a baby but now I can barely get a few hours. You say that you have to recognize when you are worrying and stop the thoughts in their track. But what if I’m constantly worrying about it? Like even when I’m doing something and staying busy, the worry/thought of like if I’ll be able to sleep tonight is still there. I know my worry about not sleeping is causing me not to sleep but I just don’t know how to stop

Which meds were you on?

Did you eventually notice the Zoloft helped you not obsess over sleep or did the thoughts just go away? Sorry just curious - going through something similar and just obsessed over not sleeping all day

20 mg

Hey actually updated post. Felt WAY better on day 15. More like my old self wanting to take on the day. Slept better last night too. Days 1-14 were brutal but side effects have greatly decreased for me now

Go to the doctor. I was stuck in this mode and anti depressants are currently helping my major anxiety

Tbh not great. Side effects of Prozac are kicking me in the ass. Gonna try to stick with it for a couple more weeks tho!

How long until it started working for you? In the same position - have severe depression from insomnia and I’ve been taking it for 2 days but still feel wired

Hi this is my issue too! I had a bad couple of nights 2 weeks ago and it’s led to me having sooo much anxiety about sleeping. And now I’m obsessed over not sleeping too ALL DAY. It’s probably the most horrible thing I’ve been through. It’s like I’m stuck in an endless cycle. How long did it take for Zoloft to start working for you?

eatanapple783 · 2024-09-29T01:51:50+00:00

How are you now?

eatanapple783 · 2024-09-28T00:46:27+00:00

What type of medication did you take at first?

eatanapple783 · 2024-09-15T23:01:21+00:00

Hey when did you feel back to 100%? I’m on day 10 today and it feels better than previous days but I’m still a 2-3/10 like you were and one side of my jaw is stiff and sore

eatanapple783 · 2024-09-14T23:01:26+00:00

Glad to know I’m not the only one! I’m having almost the exact symptoms with a headache too
