I’ve been suffering from bouts of insomnia for the last few weeks, and it’s driving me crazy.
Is it safe for me to take sleeping pills/would a doctor prescribe sleeping pills, even though I have type 1 diabetes?

I occasionally wake up with low blood sugar (not often and not dangerously low, but it has happened before) which is why Im wondering if it’s safe for me to take sleeping pills.

I’ve been what i guess you could say a "heavy" marijuana user for about 13 and a half months. I quit and am now 48 days sober. The reason I chose to quit was because I actually had what I believe my first panic attack on weed on new years. I was totally paranoid, time felt so slow, and that I would never come down. That scared me and caused me to not smoke any for about two weeks and when I did smoke my last j, it didn’t give me the usual happy feeling I had on weed and instead sort of gave me a depressed feeling. I thought it was because I was concerned about my cat who is suffering from diabetes but I decided to call it quits. Like many others, had no idea there was such a thing as withdrawal from marijuana. So you can well imagine that about 2 days after quitting the symptoms hit me like a train and scared the living hell out of me. I experienced my first ever panic attack 3 days after going cold turkey. I kept thinking something was wrong with me and I was for sure about to die. I thought I may have smoked something that was bad and gave me brain damage and such. I wasn’t myself that week which was bad ’cause it was the first week of the new semester for college. Three days later I convinced myself that nothing was wrong and I felt a big relief and thought I was back to normal. However the next morning as I got up to go to work I looked in the mirror and suddenly the depression hit me again. I didn’t feel the same person, nothing felt real. I felt totally disconnected with reality. I didn’t know that that first week of withdrawal is the most intense and it wasn’t until the second week of quitting that I finally found out that it’s actually been withdrawal I’ve been going through. The physical symptoms for the most part are gone, no more insomnia, appetite loss, headaches etc. I still have dreams that haven’t stopped since the second week but they have been getting milder and milder since then. What I’ve noticed though is that everytime once sympom stops, another seems to come. Like the first two weeks I was mainly facing the physical symptoms, then they’re gone. After that it became more psychological, the depression and anxiety started coming in waves now and suddenly I’ve started having pain all throughout my body which was a result of that anxiety. I kept feeling pain in my arms and chest and such and I was fearing for a heart attack (I’m a little on the heavy side). It turns out that the anxiety was the cause of these nerve pains and they are now gone for the most part. But now the last few days I have been suffering from derealization and depersonalization. At least that’s what I think it is. A lot of times things just feel surreal and nothing feels the same anymore. I find that this marijuana crap is always on my mind. Not in an addictive way, I just wake up wondering if the symptoms are gone or why did I ever do it in the first place. I’ll be out with friends or home having a good time but then the thoughts come back to me that something doesn’t feel right and I feel sad again. I also don’t have that full "thrill" in life I used to have before smoking my last J but I notice I am getting my emotions back little by little. I’m just wondering if anyone out there has experienced anything like this? It feels like it’s getting better than worse than getting better then worse. I have doubts of my identity and purpose in life and just want to be in control again. I want to be free from these thoughts. I keep telling myself that with time I’m sure it will get better but these thoughts and emotions just seem to get the best of me. I don’t need antidepressants, I don’t need a psyciatrist. I know I can get through this I’m just tired of being confused. I want answers and am ready to get rid of this once and for all. All answers are greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot and god bless
sorry it was supposed to say, I also don’t have that full "thrill" in life I used to have EVEN before smoking my last J

Crazy insomnia problem.?




This is a very weird and bad case of insomnia. My problem isn’t getting to sleep, and it never has been. But for some reason, I’m only sleeping 4 hours now.. its been happening for over two weeks. No matter what home remedy I try, after EXACTLY four hours (It’s very spooky how exact this is, folks…) I will wake up, feeling wide awake and physically impossible to fall back asleep.

What is going on in that brain of mine? Am I skipping out on one of sleep’s stages, or are all my stages of sleep being condensed itno a "micro session", I do crash hard so I know the 4 hours a night is not enough, but what the hell is wrong with me?

When I wake up, my mouth is completly dry and I have a very strong need to urinate. Even though I don’t drink anything before bed. I’ve been thinking.. possibly diabetes, I hope not, but at this point, just figuring out the cause of this would be a relief anyway. BTW, I have seen a doctor for this, and got Lunesta, and it didn’t work

My husband has diabetes and Sleep Apnea. Can you tell me if you have diabetes can this cause you to have Sleep Apnea?




Technorati Tags: , , ,




My husband has sleep apnea and will not use the machine. He also has diabetes. He goes to work, comes home sleeps for about two hours, goes to bed at 12:00 AM and gets up about 4:30 for work. On the weekends he will sleep if you let him about 14 hours a day. He would do this during the week but he has to go to work. I just don’t know what to do. I’m very concerned.
