Glad that you got thru the meeting mari.
ativan would be a good substitute for those occasions when you need something short acting like waves suggests.

Hi,

Good ideas.

I got off the Xanax because I was having problems.
I think I was getting the paresthesia.
It was a hard med to get out of my system. Awful.

I have taken .25 or .50 Klonopin during the day but I try not to take it when I am sleep deprived. I chose that one hour meeting over the needs of the rest of my day.

I wonder what would happen if I took the my "night" meds now and went to bed.

. . . trying to figure that out . . . . .
. .probably could fall asleep anyway, might as well have the meds on board . . . brush my teeth. . . iron my blouse for tomorrow.

Hi, Bizi and Waves,

I slept seven or eight uninterrupted hours. I felt like a million dollars. . .. even got to work on time....

But I'm working with a huge sleep deficit so I was edgy and jumpy and whiny all day.
Tonight I watched corny movies on tv.

I took my meds a few minutes ago. 'Will be sleepy in about 90 minutes.

Dear Mari

that is great news. i hope you have/had another good rest to"night" ... (referring to the hours in which you sleep, not necessarily the perriod between sunset and sunrise.)

i have been watching the corny stuff too. it's about all i can handle and sometimes not even that.

i hope you wake up feeling like 2 million bucks and feel calmer today.

:Heart:

sleep yes
 
Dear Waves,
I slep all day -- from 8:00 am to 3:00 pm. Tomorrow will be hard at work with body and head confused about sleep cycles.

For now I'm good I think. Maybe should get some work or go outside and sit in the sun for 10 mins to re-orient body.
