how do i get to sleep?

by dizylizy, Oct 09, 2009 02:02AM
I have been trying to get to sleep all night but im all restless and think i am having a panic attack. Then i felt some weird tingly feelings all over that really freaked me out. How do i get to sleep when im so stirred up and scared, how do i stop getting scared in the first place. I have been taking lexepro for only about two weeks since this all stared, and it has been helping, but today was kind of a stressful day. Help i just want to rest!

You might have Ressless Leg syndrum. I tried Lexepro for about two weeks and the same thing happened to me. I think I fell to sleep about 11:30pm and then woke up at 1:40am. As far as I know, it takes longer than two weeks for Lexepro to work on your mind. Your body is a different story. After 4 nights of no sleep I quit taking Lexepro and everything returned to normal. Don[t worry, lack of sleep never killed anybody. Take some over the counter sleep aid about 1/2 hour before bed then take a hot shower. The cooling of the body after the hot shower tricks it into going into a sleep mode. Good luck.
