    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.

    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.

    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?

    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.

    Having said the above, let me preface my advice with the following: I am no expert and I might be full of shit. Don't unquestioningly take advice from strangers on the internet. And do be aware that the best advice is also often maddening mundane and requires long-term changes that are at once trivial and impossible. With that said:

     

    Firstly, what you are going through sounds similar to stuff my wife deals with. Her solution has been to embrace order, organisation and exercise, but I think she would also be the first to tell you that this is a partial solution.

     

    So if I extrapolate from my experience, I think part of issue is that what comforts you is a sense of control over events. I say 'issue' because while this is a good thing (seriously, being organised is a superpower in terms of achieving goals) the other side is that the more you embrace this the more you will tend to fall off the rails when plans go wrong.

     

    So my second suggestion is that you need to also practice letting go. Meditation helps here, if you can manage it. Simply sit somewhere quiet, close your eyes, focus on an external stimulus (wind noise is convenient for me) and let your thoughts flow through your mind without grasping them. Do this for as long as you can manage.

     

    I also like art, building things, pottery, making bows and so on but that shit is subjective in terms of stress reduction.

     

    Combine these approaches (along with as much relaxed real-world social interaction as possible) and build your life with a view to the long term. I assume that you are still young - remember that habits formed now can last a lifetime. So plan out as much stress reduction, exercise etc as you can into your life now.

    You've hit on a lot of things there man. I have a daily routine that I more or less have to abide by. I.E. taking a shower right after I make the bed, drinking out of my cup and my cup alone, using the same plate, etc. I do try meditation and calmness exercises, however these do not seem to work in my experience :(  I've again lived a very terrible life so far with many events taking place very recently and are still on-going.

    The problem is that a lot of this stuff falls within the realm of psychiatry and psychology; ie the place where diagnosis is difficult and treatments often ineffective or actively harmful.

    That's another issue, due to my situation at hand, we rarely if ever get into a psychiatrist or psychologist. We've actually been denied services and recently we had a mishap at a place of which we waited 1 month to get into. I either get denied, told to fuck off, or no response.

  8. Also thank you for making this it's own separate entity. This is something I have been struggling with for as long as I can remember and it's something I have either gotten no help in, some help but to no avail, or just put off because I am "too difficult." My story is honestly quite barbaric and I suffer from quite a lot of mental health issues and I just can't help that it's impossible for me to sleep :( So I do appreciate all help that you guys give too me. This is honestly more valuable to me than help from doctors because now they just don't even try.
