I'm taking an anti-depressant called Mirtazapine. It has incredible sedative effects and has helped me sleep wonderfully (for the most part). Just curious if I'm getting a little too much sleep?

When your body sleeps more than it normally does....it probably means you needed it. I had days where i would sleep 15 hours sometimes.... my doctor said it was a sign that i was exhausting myself when i was awake, which was true. Trust in your body. The best Healing happens during sleep.

Suffered a TBI with PCS on April 25th 2011 from multiple blows to the head from falling, unconscious for 12 hours with no memory of event. Hit the back of my head, and above right eye. MRI and CT negative. Symptoms included constant headaches (migraine, pressure, tension, icepicks), dizziness, tinnitus, visual changes, photophobia, fatigue, "spacing out", word finding difficulties, depression, and emotional lability.
Began Healing in November 2011 after starting acupuncture and Healing Touch (a nurturing energy therapy that promotes relaxation and pain relief). I went back to work in February 2012. Ive been symptom free since July 2012. Very happy, positive, energetic and working out every day, doing yoga, and living a normal life again!
I also began taking Healing Touch classes in November 2011 and completed 5 Levels of Healing Touch Certificate Program that included a 1 year mentorship to become a Healing Touch International Practitioner in June 2013. I am so pleased to offer this wonderful healing therapy to my patients, friends, and clients.
