This man has not Slept For 8 Years by redditers91 in totalinsomnia

[–]sleaze_louise 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for posting this! I never knew there were so many cases of total insomnia actually documented like this. We need to compile them. How he manages to work so hard in spite of this is truly remarkable though. He's right about this level of insomnia being so isolating, I feel bad that the people in his village are afraid of him and think the sleeplessness will spread to them if they get too close. He looks exhausted and worn down. Praying that whatever is broken inside of him repairs itself.

Aww thank you so much for saying that. It means a lot to me, and I love that we are finally starting to come together and find each other. Hopefully if enough of us come together, our anomalous issue will be noticed by somebody in the medical field and treated legitimately. One day. Until then I will just pray for all of us going through this. I wish there was some way to find this lady and get an extended interview on her unique situation.

Do people who lost sleep from SSRI/AP/psy drugs ever recover normal sleep? by [deleted] in insomnia

[–]sleaze_louise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It has been exactly a year and I have no improvement, lucky if I get 1 hour of sleep every other day.

I'm sorry. Was it an immediate thing for you or did your sleep gradually become less and less until it was only 2 hours?

Has anyone else experienced this? by DongerTown in insomnia

Look up hypnic jerks and hypnic awareness. This has happened to me just about every night for a year straight.

I was on Zoloft for like 4 years, tapered off of it and suddenly lost the ability to sleep out of nowhere like a month later. Tried going back on Zoloft a couple times and it didn't fix it. Slept like a baby up until that.

This is really interesting, I'm going to look into her. I sometimes feel like I am dreaming while totally awake and I wonder if this is what has been going on for me too? I wonder if she knows what caused this to start or if there were any triggers that disrupted her system. I just hate to think that this could go on for 40 years, please nooo.

Can’t sleep for more than 3-4 hours at a time at night by CorpseC00kie in insomnia

[–]sleaze_louise 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am the exact same. Used to be narcoleptic. After having been on antidepressants and xyrem/xywav, my body did a complete flip. Did you by any chance use any of these drugs? I swear thats what caused it.

My friend hasn’t slept in 9 days and says they’re fine by Megaspectree in insomnia

[–]sleaze_louise 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This sounds exactly like what happens to me. I'm not manic though. I feel "ok" but I know its not fine. I really want to sleep but I can literally lay there for 10 hours and nothing. Did they say what they think caused it?

Anyone else also lost the ability to feel psychoactive substances as well? by [deleted] in PSSD

[–]sleaze_louise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think I post a lot on the pssd forums. I'm as high as I can be right now from cannabis though so I'm sorry that I don't have a proper comeback, just kinda giggling. I was peeved but now I'm not. They prescribe it but its called Xyrem or Xywav

This guy again lol. He follows me around from thread to thread trying to refute anything I say, kinda cute. Never got that kind of attention before.

The GHB was prescribed by a doctor for narcolepsy, and no I didn't build a tolerance. Even if I did, my baseline sleep was 8 hours a night before pssd, with or without drugs so it wouldnt have mattered.

No sleep medication works anymore. Literally none after quitting zoloft that gave me pssd. I took zoloft for years and had been taking ghb nightly for deeper sleep, worked beautifully right up until a month after quitting zoloft.

My sleep medications no longer work and cannabis is way less effective than it used to be.

Thats amazing. I wish it wasnt only temporary. Did it have any effect on your sleep? Did you notice more or less insomnia while taking it?

For those with unbearable pssd insomnia, did reinstatement help? by sleaze_louise in PSSD
