The AMX-56 Cannot Sleep Thread


That’s Suspicious

Recommended Posts

Right now for a example, I mowed a little over a acre with a push-mower, ripped up some old carpet, tore apart a couch, lifted, and more and I am somewhat physically tired, yet I am still not going to sleep for a day at least, can still do just about anything, and am more or less fine. Even after a hard day of work.

I don't know man. With that schedule, I'd say your best bet is to lay off the methamphetamine!

I keed, I keed.

Although, with your sleep regime, you'd be a perfect deckhand for a Bering Sea crabbing boat.

I'm not joking! It's honestly like I am on meth!! Right now as I type this, perfectly awake and fine.

I suffer with insomnia. Fortunately I have hit upon ways of keeping it in check.

When I was single, I'd be able to listen to late night talk radio like Art Bell's Coast to Coast and that would put me to sleep since it would distract me from my racing mind since I get too excited with thoughts to go to sleep. Always have.

Or I could do the trick where I'd open a window and get it frigid. Going from cold air to warm will put one to sleep.

Or just good old-fashioned work and physical exhaustion will work.

Now that I'm married, I can't rely on the first two anymore since Mrs. The Captain yelled at me when I tried leaving the radio on when we were together. Fortunately there are other ways a married man can get to sleep which has cures for my insomnia.

Although times when work or whatever keeps me away from the Mrs., I do resort to my insomnia after a good two or three days.

I tried some of these things as well, I tried watching Sicario to make me sleep, then laid in bed for about 1 and a half hours, which didn't work :( 

I do love the cold and I sleep in the frigid cold because it makes me comfortable the most.

However none of these work either man :( Maybe when I get a wife eh?

An update, I've stayed awake for more or less 5 days with only 3hrs of sleep in between. I was put on new medications which aren't doing shit and I am beginning to go insane.

Are you given anti-depressants? They don't start working until your body adapts to them, which usually takes 2-3 weeks. Usually, you would be given benzodiazepenes along with them as a stopgap.

In your case, you should have gotten zopiclone for your sleep which should start working right away.

I've been put on Abilify and Trileptal. I'm also on Zoloft but i've been on that for a year now. Apparently I'm now Manic and Bi-Polar, I don't really see being Bi-Polar but ehh it would be ignorant of me to deny it. SO those along with Insomnia, Autism, Aspergers, and now this, could that lead too me just not sleeping at all? I haven't sleep but maybe 7hrs this whole week and now it's getting worse, I almost went too the hospital yesterday.

According to LexiComp, Abilify and Zoloft have a drug interaction which worsens the side effects of Abilify by increasing the serum concentration. Honestly surprised your pharmacist didn't catch it.

Are you serious? What the hell?!? I'll call them and talk about this, thanks for telling me.

Yes, according to LexiComp,the main drug database in the US, there is an interaction between the two drugs so that one is substituted or Abilify would have its dosage cut. You should definitely call your pharmacist first to confirm and get a substitute for one of those drugs if you can because having both would increase the adverse effects of Abilify.
