I have been suffering from fatigue since a very long time now I mean years…but I beginning to think the alertness I am feeling today could be because of good bowel movement. Does this make sense?

I did some research about it, and I have the following signs:

Difficulty falling asleep
Difficulty with memory
Poor concentration & focus
Waking up during the night, many times(sometimes every hour or so)
Very tired throughout the day
I take naps when I get home from school
I sometimes am not able to fall asleep for a long time(I will be up at 6 in the morning and not be able to fall asleep until 2-5 in the morning the next day, if that makes sense)
And I am very irritable

I’m 16, by the way.
Are there any other symptoms and do you think I have it? I think I do, and am going to have my mom take me to the doctor soon.
Waking up
Ignore the extra waking up at the end, I don’t know how that got there, lol.

Hi, I’m 15 and have needed AT LEAST an hour every night to fall asleep for as long as I can remember. I have never been fully rested since I started having this problem who-knows-how-long ago. I really need help with it, though, because it is starting to really hurt me in school. Through my 9th grade year I found myself daydreaming more than I ever had before. Even before, like back to 5th grade, I never could focus easily in class and found myself taking a long time to push through my work. I am a solid A/B student and have been my whole life, but have also had trouble finishing something and not getting distracted. So, I told my mom about this because I thought that it was ADD or ADHD, but I tested negative for that. Anyways, the past few days, I’ve noticed I don’t fall asleep until 2 A.M. at the earliest and don’t wake up until 10 A.M. at the earliest. It just recently hit me that this could be insomnia when I started thinking of how this girl in my school is an insomniac. This insomnia is making it really hard to focus in school and it is also making me irritable and giving me terrible mood swings. I would blow up at people for trying to be nice and talking to me, or touching me by accident, or other ridiculous things like that. Because of this, I never do my homework when it is not graded and do it at the last minute when it is (or I should say did. I’m on break right now). I’m annoyed by nearly everything my parents or brothers do and also by really simple things that I know SHOULD NOT bother me at all, but they do. It takes me FOREVER to finish a cross stitch, no matter how small, just because I cannot concentrate on ANYTHING for a long time. Sorry if I repeated some things.

Anyways, I have an appointment with a pediatrician on July 7th for my degenerative TMJ, knee and hip joint pains, and also my acid reflux. She is supposed to be a really great diagnostician. Should I ask her about my insomnia?

Also, my mom sees no problem that it takes so long to fall asleep, but it is a big problem for me. How can I express that to her better?

Thanks for all the help and answers. I’m sorry this is so long.

My FIL is an Asian and currently lives in an Asian country. He asked my spouse to bring him some sleeping pills that have no or minor side effects from US on the next visit (He refused to come here) He suffered a stroke about ten years ago and recovered fairly well. But he gained weight again in the past few years. He thinks the sleeping pill he is currently taking makes his body a bit imbalanced (physically – when walking)during the day. He also has minor prostatitis. I have no knowledge about sleeping pills at all and only took sleeping pills 2 or 3 times in my whole life long time ago. I remember one time the pill relaxed all my muscles and I fell asleep. When I woke up my muscles felt no strength. Another time when I took a sleeping pill, it made me hard to breath and then I fell asleep. I’m not sure if the "hard to breath" part will cause any harm to my FIL.

I’d greatly appreciate your help with names of sleeping pills, how they work, and their side effects.

Thank U very much.

What are insomnia and paranoia symptoms of?

I’ve been having insomnia and paranoia for a long time, and its really bothering me. Takes me like, 2 to 3 hours to fall asleep and I always end up waking up earlier than most people and waking up in the middle of the night alot. And my paranoia’s affecting my attention span and concentration on something important. So I want to know what insomnia and paranoia can cause/are symptoms of and what should I do to fix it. And please try to avoid telling me to go talk to a friend, teacher, counselor, psychiatrist, or therapist. If you really have to, then fine. I just don’t feel like bringing anyone else into my problems and I have a phobia of asking for help, so it really took alot for me to ask questions like this online.

I’m a light sleeper/trouble sleeper.
It takes me a really long time to fall asleep and it’s really annoying.
Taking warm milk with a banana doesn’t work for me.
So I’m thinking of taking some sleep aid.

Which one is safer and more effective sleep aid?
a) doxylamine succinate
b) diphenhydramine HCI
And what are some possible side effects of each?

I have bad insomnia and a lot of times my body does not want to eat. For example, at dinner I will barely touch my dinner. Though I want to eat, my body doesn’t feel hungry. This has been happening for a long time.

If you take Ambien for a long time, can it cause depression or other side effects?




Technorati Tags: , , ,




I take 30mg of Cymbalta every morning around 7:30 and from about 11:00 to 3:00 I feel extremely sleepy. Will this side effect ever "wear off" or is this part of being on the drug? I just started taking the medicine for about week now. It’s been a long time since I’ve been on an anti depressant and can’t really remember this tired feeling from the others.

Sleeping Pill?




I need alot of help, I have anxiety/panic disorder (panic attacks are the worst!) and whenever Im away from home, like on a vacation, I have trouble sleeping, which makes me anxious, giving me panic attacks, so its all a cycle…

I need a sleeping pill that really works quickly, and keeps you asleep for a long time (8 hours), it has to be one that wont be habit forming, and it cant lose its effect quickly (say in a two week period)

thank you so much!

You know how if you don’t play it for a long time, you get bed hair and sleepy eyes? My sister’s character got them and can’t get her eyes back to normal. I once had the same thing and they went back to normal, but I don’t remember what I did.
Her eyes have been stuck like that for about a few weeks now.
How do you get the eyes back to normal?
Medicine doesn’t work.
