I had them out last Thursday. I slept fine the first couple of nights, but the past few nights I find that I have to prop myself up so that my head doesn’t feel like it’s throbbing. I’m so tired because it’s incredibly hard to sleep like that, and I’m wondering if this is normal. The receptionist at my oral surgeon’s office said it is, but I don’t know. I see my oral surgeon tomorrow morning for my post-op, but am hoping to get some reassurance from others today. Any suggestions on how to get through a night and how long this will last?

So I just finished my series or rabies shots last Thursday.. but now I feel kinda different. Some of the symptoms such as loss of appetite, fatigue, headache, fever, pain (sometimes itching) or numbness at the site of exposure, insomnia, and depression are not present but I do feel kinda malaise/lethargic. I’ve been like this for the past two days. Help would be appreciated.

How many hours of sleep does a person need?




I am only sleeping 2-4 hours a night. I can’t go to sleep until sometimes 4 or 5 am and am awake by 8am, this has been happening for the last 5 nights, I figure I’ve had under 18 hours of sleep since last Thursday, one night not sleeping at all.. What am I to do?

I stopped taking Remeron last Thursday (as directed by my psychiatrist), and have been experiencing moderate insomnia. Note that insomnia was never a problem before (on or off Remeron). I tried Valerian but it doesn’t seem to hit the target and I feel wired. Does anyone have experience/suggestions that helped?
