I am on my second night being alcohol free but there is a huge problem. For the past 2 nights I have been suffering from severe insomnia and anxiety. What can I do to help alleviate these symptoms? I couldn’t sleep even if I tried because I seem to have this overwhelming energy. Is this normal with alcohol withdrawal. How long will it take for these symptoms to go away?

I am 22 years old and I swear I have the worst medical genes ever.

Since I was younger I have had asthma but it only affected sports.
Then I got sick when I was 18 and had gastroporisis and was nauseas for almost a year it seemed like.

Now that I am 22 years old these are all the problems I am having and I am feeling they might be connected since no one knows whats up yet.

1) Sleeping- I can sleep any amount of hours and I am still always tired, I yawn all the time and want to sleep til 3 pm, but I cant go to bed early unless I am very very tired. other wise its normally 12-1 am before I can go to sleep.
2) Stomach- I am used to having stomach problems since being sick before but now I feel like i look bloated all the time and it makes me look pregnant, I get gas all the time, I have acid reflux, I have what seems to be IBS??
3)Breathing- My asthma was fine before and only if I ran or swam i got winded, but now I can get out of breath from talking, walking up stairs, or just laying down doing nothing.
4)motivation- I have none! I am so lazy I never even feel like cooking anymore.
5)Weight- I have always been skinny but since I got sick when i was 18 I have gone from 125 to 160!!! And my mom who is much fatter than I am weights the same as me… Where is all this weight??

The only pill I take daily is 150mg of Luvox CR. Its for my anxiety.

Okay well lately I have been having trouble falling asleep. I have really bad anxiety and I get overly excited sometimes and its really hard to fall asleep. I found that if I think of nice things to think about, I fall asleep easier. So what are some good things to think about?

Lack of sleep = low blood pressure?

Last night I didn’t get much sleep I had terrible heartburn and I wasn’t able to lie down without an intense burning feeling and chest pain until around 4:45 am at which point I immediately fell asleep. I woke up at 10am and had to start my day. When I got home at 1:30ish I just watched some tv and played xbox instead of starting landscaping because I didn’t sleep much last night (I’ve relaxed most of summer) Then around 4 I started feeling lightheaded I kept relaxing (because I have anxiety and I knew it was because of lack of sleep) at 4:30 I started noticing mucus build-up in the back of my nose. I lay down for almost an hour and felt less dizzy. Went on with my day (watched TV with the family, ate dinner) Around 9:30 I felt dizzy again. I had the random idea to take my blood pressure. It’s was 80/60 with 94 pulse rate then 88/60 with 100 pulse rate I started to worry. I got up and started moving around, ran up the stairs, and walked around. I sat down for 10 min and took my blood pressure (like before) and accidentally squeezed the hand pump what I thought was one too many times. My blood pressure came out to 100/72 with 94 pulse rate(big difference, probably because I didn’t know what I was doing) I took it again to make sure it wasn’t a fluke and I got the same results. I feel less dizzy since moving around but still a little dizzy. Is this dizziness something to worry about.
P.S- I’ve had this happen once before when I didn’t sleep much but then I was much more dizzy (needed help walking) I slept and felt better. This time I’m wondering if my heartburn is playing a factor in this.(just a thought, I’ve had it bad the last several nights). Also, I’m 16 year old male, skinny, possible hyperactive thyroid (awaiting blood test results) and am in decent shape (can still play hard basketball with getting winded.)
Thanks in advance

I’ve been on Cymbalta (it’s been am miracle drug for my depression) for some time and generally use clonazepam more-so to sleep than for anxiety. I’m not taking it as much for panic attacks anymore. But when I try not to take anything for sleep, I just don’t sleep as well or not at all.

I’m 14 and get really bad anxiety sometimes. I bought some Valerian Root tablets (you can also cut them in half and drink it as tea) and I was just wondering if it’s okay for me to take them. It says it’s not intended for people under 18, but what harm will it do if I take them? Does it have any side effects? Can I take one in the day when I get anxiety? Thanks!

so ive been on amitriptyline for about a month and a half now for anxiety and insomnia. I was prescribed 25 mg a night, and so far ive been taking it every night for the past month and a half, maybe only skipping one day in that period. My doctor only prescribed them to me to be taken for short term only (three months), but i feel better now and feel like I can quit pretty soon. I’ve talked to my doctor and he said that it’s ok to just quit cold turkey because I was on such a small dose for not that long, but I was just wondering, will there be any withdrawal effects from quitting? Will I have rebound insomnia from quitting?

My friend takes remeron for anxiety depression and insomnia. He wants to stop taking it and go with natural remedies. Does anyone know of anything that works just as well as prescription meds? Any personal experiences? Please only answer if you are sure the herbs actually work for these 3 things

Hello,

Today I took .5mg of xanax before each flight I took (I have EXTREME flying anxiety). I took .5mg about 7 hours ago and another .5 mg approximately 5 hours ago. I slept a little on the plane and I am now not feeling any effects of the medication.

I have been taking 10 mg of Ambien for about two years. I was wondering if it would be okay to take my dose tonight to recover from this horrid jet lag.

Thank you in advance.
