Sleepy and agitated same time.

[sleepmonster]

I'm always sleepy and tired, but the problem is i can be easily become hyper and anxious also. I don't understand.

I'm always anxious about everything, worrying, so I'm supposed to be insomniac, but I sleep too much and even when I had panic attack I was kinda sleepy a bit. So if I take sedatives I become too sleepy all the time, end up sleeping 14hrs. and if I don't take sedatives I become agitated and unstable.

Anyway I'm always sleepy and tired and anxious and hyper same time. It drives me crazy. No dr. understood me. They just say 'take some meds and shrug it off'. What the hell meds can cure me huh?

I thought about taking sleeping test but it costs to much and I heard there's no cure for hypersomnia. I drink ten cup of black coffee but still sleepy and just become agitated because of the coffee. Actually I get sleepy if I take coffee I don't know why. Anybody there is like me? Sometimes I want to die just 'To Sleep' and get away the agitation I feel everyday also.

sugar withdrawal? I thought there were alcohol or cigarret withdrawal but sugar is a new thing.
Maybe I should try quitting sugar, but I don't drink nor smoke and without coffee... it's gonna be hell for some time. :)

But it'd be worth. :) Thanks for advice.

There is such a thing as sugar withdrawal. I have witnessed it. The more information you give, the more I think your problem is nutritional. And a bad diet can screw up your endocrine system. But if it has you still have to address the diet first because that would be the cause.

Appreciate your replies guys. :)

allmymarbles/I'm definitely not eating healthy and I love sugar. But the irony is, if I don't eat sugar I sleep too much. I don't know why. and if I eat sugar, I become too anxious. Sugar or no sugar both make me crazy. I'm trying to quit coffee recently, no smoking no drinking, so sugar is only stimulant.
Confused :(

Paderla.../Normally I want to sleep 14-16hrs!!... can't live like that.. But you're right about lifestyle. I exercise irregularly and eat many processed foods. Though I don't smoke nor drink but I love soda pop and chocolate.  
Wish there were magic pill but maybe this is time to change my life style entirely.

Hello and hope you are doing well.

It may just be that you are tired and need more sleep. Give yourself more time to sleep. Continue with your medications for now but slowly ensure to develop good lifestyle measures to combat anxiety.. Exercise regularly. Eliminate alcohol, stop smoking and avoid caffeinated beverages. Practice relaxation techniques like yoga and meditation and avoid becoming overanxious. This will help to reduce the severity of symptoms. Get professional counseling if required. And Keep It!!

Hope this helped and do keep us posted.

I would look for a nutritional problem. Also I would take a balanced vitamin and mineral supplement. If you are on a high sugar diet, it might contribute to your wake/sleep problem and would account for your being wired.
