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.

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.

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

Friends Can Hurt

I’m posting this in the healing section because this post stems from a long history of hurt. I guess I could start posting some of the old here and it would help bring some clarity to why it’s all part of my healing.

I can’t possibly get everything into this one post, but my feelings are hurt beyond belief and I’m not sure anyone in my life will even ever hear of it. Will it change anything if I do say something? Do I say something to hubby and then he passes on the info and then I may end up “that” wife?

Healing with Social Networking

Wow, who’d a thunk this post would happen? Grab your fav drink depending what time of day and night you are reading this and sit in for a bit, it could be a long one.

I’m having a horrible week. A truly horrible last 10 days and counting actually. It’s not all been bad, I did get a date night with hubby so the last couple of days were much better and looking up.

Road of Healing

It’s been difficult to get a post together for the healing. Not because I don’t want to talk about it, but because it’s not easy for me to pinpoint when I’ve crossed another bridge. It just happens and life gets a little lighter.

The biggest and most difficult is still coming to terms with the fact I may have missed out on other really good relationships in my life. I stand by my no regrets, BUT I am still human so it pops up from time-to-time.
