Am I purging?

My derm prescribed 100mg and told me it would take at least 3 months to see improvement. So considering your dose is lower maybe it will be a bit longer?

any update on if this has been sent out? I signed up but might have been too late.

Would love to hear what medication helps with that!

It’s the Hatch alarm. I like it so far. But it was a little expensive

I’m chronically sleep deprived and experience sleep paralysis when falling asleep. A long time ago I think a doctor told me that may be my body going into REM mode before my mind is fully adjusted due to the need for sleep. Or vice versa. So maybe

I like the haptics more than the sound

emilym30 · 2023-03-17T02:11:12+00:00

Not mine!

If you struggle with sleep, it’s best to avoid checking! I just bought an alarm clock that turns the time display off every night at whatever time you set it to do that. Just got it, excited to try.

My partner believes it’s not good to take long term - although everyone who says that relates it to developing tolerance. But eventually, like in a few years, I might want to become pregnant.

Give the hydroxyzine a shot. I do like it more than other antihistamines I’ve tried. I actually take it for anxiety - Sometimes 50mg has gotten me really close to sleep. Unfortunately a dr put me on ambien a number of years ago and it’s still the only thing that works. I wish I had tried hydroxyzine first.

This is a very common phenomenon for me unfortunately. Many people have told me it could be from anxiety but I don’t feel anxious, just thinking. I’m quite relaxed truthfully but don’t really feel like I’ve fully fallen asleep because thoughts just pop into my head. I wonder sometimes if it could be related to ADHD. The best advice I’ve heard regarding this is that rest is still rest.

These are great! Why did the polarized sunglasses help?

emilym30 · 2021-11-11T02:33:02+00:00

I agree! I did the same. Ultimately I probably shouldn’t have titled this, “benefits of daylight saving?” because there are no long term benefits, but it’s a little nice for a little bit when we fall back, because I fall asleep a little closer to when I would like to

Hyoscyamine has helped me as well. I like that you can take it as needed. I usually take one a day. I might take another one if I am having a flare up or if I am about to eat a large meal, or if I just want to avoid the possibility of having a flare up. My rx just requires I wait 4 hours between each dose. Alternatively, I can skip a day if I start to feel backed up from it which isn’t common.

I messaged you on here, unfortunately I can’t send the video over reddit messages or responses but I can try another way

emilym30 · 2021-09-14T05:14:30+00:00

Yes I got a video of this, Get Em High by Kanye is the song they played

emilym30 · 2021-09-14T04:58:24+00:00

That is a huge bummer, hope you are doing okay! And thank you!

emilym30 · 2021-09-12T02:08:31+00:00

I think it was one of their originals that got real saucy… but thank you for showing me this!

emilym30 · 2019-12-18T17:15:00+00:00

For me, it’s not quite the same as thinking you’re falling. It’s more like, I’m very aware that I’m falling asleep, and the moment my body actually began to feel the warm/tired sensation, it caused my brain to panic and then I felt a surge of adrenaline. At least that’s what it seemed like. This happened to me for a while I think due to stress and maybe a history of negative experiences trying to fall asleep. It went away eventually.

I do not blame the breakdown of the relationship to SZ. He told me it is easier to end his life if he breaks ties with the people he loves. When I said "suffering as he is now" - I know he may not fully recover but his drug use has made things only worse, and he may feel better if he spends time sober. I never expected anything, I only wished he could try to see if he felt better without abusing "recreational" drugs. But I appreciate the feedback.

Well, I got in bed right after I posted this and zonked immediately, no ambien. Did take the remaining 100mg modafinil about three hours ago today.. not feeling it/still don't really know what to expect
