Some Prescription Drugs Should be Illegal

Well I now can say I truly understand what everyone is saying about pharmaceutical companies. I mean, I was never on their side, don’t get me wrong. But I’d never been given a prescription before that was obviously so bad for me.

Now on my doc’s side, she is truly trying to help me with my insomnia which I asked for and really wanted help with. However, a new problem is not the answer.

One Thankful Thing

Today has been an incredibly, wonderful day. I’m working on getting used to the fact that our ski season is a total wash and embracing the early Spring. It’s not easy, believe me!

But today was Spring cleaning. Yeah, you heard me right. It’s Feb. 21st and we are Spring cleaning. It’s in the 60’s and not a cloud in the sky. El Nino has been here all Winter and we never did get one. We had such high hopes when we hit the slopes on Nov. 15th. lol What a teaser that was!

From Ambien to Lunesta

Well it was obvious that something wasn’t working right with the ambien cause I wasn’t sleeping through the night very well and it would take at least an hour for me to fall asleep still. So she switched me to lunesta last week. I got the script for it on Tuesday night, but then after reading all the shit on it I didn’t take it that night. Hubby had already fallen asleep because he wasn’t feeling good and if I was going to tweak out or something I wanted him to wake up and know I’d taken it. lol Yeah, I’m a drug pansy.

Coverage of Olympics

We’re PST so we are used to absolute crap when it comes to Olympic coverage. For some reason we had high hopes this year would be different. You know, it being held 2.5 hours away from us and all yeah, right. Why’d we set ourselves up for that fall?

I remember growing up and the Olympics were covered. COMPLETELY COVERED! Not just the highlights they decided were worthy, but all of it. Because who are you to say that an event is worthy? Just because someone from the US isn’t in the finals doesn’t mean there aren’t many that don’t want to watch it.

Ambien Night 4?

Is it night 4? I can’t keep track now and I’m too lazy this Sunday morning to go look it up.

I’ll be calling the doc on Tuesday. I did like my friend said and I took it well before I was off to bed. Then stayed up and watched some Olympics with hubby for 30-45 minutes. I did crash as soon as my head hit the pillow, cool beans. But I still woke up a few times during the night and it’s supposed to be taking care of that. So I’ll call her and tell her about that.

Ambien Night 3

I will keep an eye on my caffeine today and see if that is any cause of my sleeplessness. This stuff is helping me get to sleep ok as long as I lay down and relax. BUT, I woke up at least 3 times last night. So somethings not right. I have the rest of the long weekend to figure out what could be causing it and then I’ll call her on Tuesday when she gets back in the office.

Ambien Night 2

Hmm, well I have a feeling I’ll end up calling my docs on Tuesday when she gets back to work. Since I had to take the whole pill the first night, I just popped the full dose first thing last night. I’m pretty sure I feel asleep before the pill even hit me as the stress of the day really wore me out. I couldn’t wait to get to sleep last night to get away from the body aches and upset stomach.

Wellbutrin Day 1

Told you there would probably be multiple posts going on for a bit. Yeah, this is the second part of treatment. Finally admitting and doing something about my emotional feelings. As I believe I wrote in my post this morning, I really hate drugs. I have control issues and drugs take all control away. I know that is one reason why I stay away from them.

Then I come from a good line of addicts. Typically it’s alcohol, but there have been drugs in there as well. My brother says he has the same fear of drugs and getting addicted because of our family history.

Ambien Night One

I had a great doctor’s appointment yesterday and we’re on the way for some treatments. One of the first one’s is my sleep issues. Unfortunately, one of my sleep issues is I want to stay up and get more work done. But I’ve always been prone to insomnia so it’s well past time to fix things.

She said she was going to give me something for the sleep and I just sat there…wait for it, wait for it,…ambien. Yep, of course. It’s the most common one used. But I’ve heard so many horror stories about it that as the evening progressed I was starting to get a little tweaked out. You know, nervously talking too much. Which is really bad in my case because I don’t ever shut up on a 100% normal day

Ski Vacation

Yep, we’re out of here. I am not getting my hopes up for any internet access at our buddy’s house. I’ll blog offline and post when I get home. Or…I’ll try to figure out how to post from my husbands droid. lol

My ideal will be to find a coffee shop and steal away for a few hours by myself.
