Tinnitus Talk Support Forum

Sorry to hear you're going through this as well.
Haven't slept in 3 days, or a full night sleep in 3 weeks. Can't take meds as one is giving me eye problems and don't know which.
Sadly, I know how you feel
Are you taking any sleep meds?
How is the neuromodulation going?

@DeanD I just read your latest update. My heart breaks for you and all of us who try so hard to adapt and "do the right things" to just get screwed some how. It's so hard to say how things are going when I go through an insomnia slump. It happens around my cycle, but before that I was getting 3-4 decent nights of sleep in a row.

@DeanD i take 7.5mg Remeron for sleep along with melatonin and that does help and do the trick when I'm not in my monthly cycle. I also still take .25mg Ativan in evening which allows me to calm down, but I love/hate it as it's a benzo.
What meds have you tried?

Sorry to hear that @ErikaS this condition tests strengths you didn't know you had. Hope much sleep are you getting?

@Strawberryblonde i had a 3-4 night span of very little sleep, it started to turn around the past two nights but the lack of sleep always tends to hit me a couple days after and really sends my anxiety, panic, and depression.

Hang in there Erika you've been in my thoughts and prayers I know you can and will get through this! Keep fighting things will get better ‍

Hormones can play havoc on a sleep cycle you will get back to were you were sleep wise when the anxiety depression and panic eases off. You've had a good time sleep wise before and you will get there again soon

@ErikaS - I have been taking 15mg Martazapine (Remeron) and 10mg Propranolol. These were doing the trick until a worsening. GP swapped me to Zapiclone. First night on them I got 10 hours, but then they stopped working. Now trying to work out what I can take other than magnesium supplement.
Really hope you manage to get a good night sleep tonight!

Thank you @Sammy0225. I think one of the most maddening, scariest things with this is how no one around you can understand, and they feel helpless and you see how helpless they feel and it's just scary because no one or no turn makes you truly feel that "things will be okay" feeling. At least I have not gotten there yet.
