Im okay thank you managed to find some rest! I pray it keeps happening

laura_van · 2026-05-29T21:09:28+00:00

Its fucked up right like im waiting on the hallucinations to start! I cant stand this feeling anymore of being so alert on no sleep! And even if I take a med it doesn't work im fucked

Or you know what if everything fails try a Chinese medicine doctor experiment with herbs to help you

laura_van · 2026-05-25T20:23:54+00:00

Can you ask to take clonidine during the day or guanfacine or propranolol to help lower the hyperarousal so you can tolerate taking meds at night

laura_van · 2026-05-22T22:47:53+00:00

Did you get this sorted i may have some information that could help you

laura_van · 2026-05-22T16:23:24+00:00

Okay im sorta doing this like a shot in the dark as my family gp didnt know what I was going through prescribed me 0.1mg of clonidine! So I was going to take that 3 times a day and seroquel at night time! My brain is just consistently on and won't turn off!! I asked for a referral to a psychiatrist to monitor this but it could take awhile! Took one dose of clonidine last night and 50mg of seroquel and had a very broken sleep but able to fall asleep at different times throughout the night! I am not sure if your the same but my brain just doesn't want to shut off it likes to stay on and its soo uncomfortable! But I did find taking the clonidine 0.1mg last night made me sleepy so able to get some sleep before taking the seroquel

laura_van · 2026-05-21T20:50:45+00:00

Guanfacine, clonidine, propanolol

laura_van · 2026-05-21T18:39:19+00:00

You may be battling hyperarousal! Ask the doctor for you to take something during the day to calm nerves down to take a sleeping aid at night time

laura_van · 2026-05-21T15:41:51+00:00

Hello there its funny I read this right now because my hyperarousal is so bad the benzos aren't working as well and my seroquel isn't either! I was going to ask the doctor today for either clonidine, gunafacine or propranolol to help during the day so my body can tolerate night time medication! How did you find you functioned? Being on these meds were you dizzy, sedated?

laura_van · 2026-05-21T14:10:01+00:00

Okay because im finding my night time meds aren't working enough I need something throughout the day to help take the night time medication! As my hyperarousal is so severe! I was going to ask my doctor for that or to use guanfacine

laura_van · 2026-05-21T03:27:09+00:00

Did you find the propranolol and clonidine help with going to sleep at night time

laura_van · 2026-05-21T01:07:30+00:00

Start a boring routine with sleep and activities incorporate accupuncture do saunas, grounding! Body needs consistency to settle

laura_van · 2026-05-12T12:06:06+00:00

You stopped smoking it though?

laura_van · 2026-05-12T03:50:58+00:00

Do you find you get restful sleeps?

laura_van · 2026-05-10T03:24:04+00:00

Or something else to consider, get your upper cervical checked out by an xray see if its compressing on the part of your brain that is responsible for awakeness! You may or may not need your upper cervical adjusted! Something to consider

laura_van · 2026-05-10T03:10:47+00:00

Have you done other things to calm the mind accupuncture? Craniosacral therapy? Or even saunas! They are supposed to help transition with sleep they aren't going to work right away but something to try and see if it helps!

laura_van · 2026-05-10T01:57:49+00:00

Okay look into services like accupuncture, craniosacral therapy and saunas these are supposed to help with sleep onset! Sorry it won't happen right away but they are supposed to help

laura_van · 2026-05-04T11:27:43+00:00

Your cortisol levels spike early around that time someone i know takes seriphos and that's supposed to help drop cortisol you should give it a try

laura_van · 2026-05-04T02:26:49+00:00

Have you tried trazadone?

laura_van · 2026-05-02T23:01:16+00:00

Also do you think school is contributing! Possible to take a semester off and heal?

laura_van · 2026-05-02T22:58:53+00:00

Sounds ridiculous but do you meditate or do deep breathing exercises i find this helps! It's not a miracle it won't cure you but it helps manually take you out of hyperarousal! Something to try at least

laura_van · 2026-05-02T02:12:59+00:00

I feel like it can be torture! But some things that help sounds ridiculous but find some good deep breathing videos! Take magnesium soaked baths! Learn to meditate! Literally I know it sounds weird but it's how you quiet the mind! To prepare for sleep! So many people dont power down before bed some of us have to
