STILL NO SLEEP
Still no sleep,I sleep only when I drop off without knowing,I saw my psychiatrist and he doubled my librium at night,but still I have the rapid thoughts when I close my eyes which leads to a panic attack,which leads to me on the couch watching TV afraid to sleep.We also talked about the multiple pain meds and any link they may have to my rapid thoughts at night.He also added celexa,so that makes a grand total of 9 medications I'm on for pain,panic attacks,depression and high blood pressure.I'm scared to death of these panic attacks,I feel like between those and all the meds I feel like a prisoner.
Maybe you could try a different benzo, like Klonopin. Once you fall asleep, can you stay asleep? If not, then you need something more.
Have you tried Seroquel? I can take between 25-100mg of it for sleep. More than that, and it can be counterproductive. It is also sometimes used for depression. It may lower your blood pressure, so you have to watch out for drug interactions. It will knock most people out and keep them drowsy until they get adjusted to it, which can take some time.
