I'm sorry that you were hang over from the Lunesta

I wish you weren't so sensitive to meds. It seems like trying to find the right med is always some kind of torture for you

I was wondering if you like short stories and rather than fighting to go to sleep
when you think it is time to go to sleep you start reading great short stories which eventually will force you to fall asleep

Shocked

I picked up the dexmethylphenidate (2.5 tablet) on the way home from work.
I cut it in fourths and ate with a little food.
Fifty mins later, I feel weird in my chest -- kind of anxious.
Maybe it will go away.

-=-=-=-

Tonight I have to work on a yearly report that is absolutely due Friday.
I have not started on it and am sort of starting from scratch.
Such a mess
I hope I can do it because right now, even with the chest weirdness, I am
so very very very very very sleepy from not getting sleep this week.

I read Jane Austen's stuff at night sometimes.
I have sort of have trained myself to read things I know very well so that I do not get interested in them.
They distract me from thinking about having to
go to bed.

My old CBT therapist said that it is good to read a little while before bed ---- much better than t.v. or something stimulating.
Sometimes I am still listening to him.

Default Focalin / dexmethylphenidate

Update:

The feeling in my chest should not be there.


Maybe this is not the right medication for me.
I am considering trying it a few days from now one more time before I
give up on it.

Yes. Probably.

I will wait a few days and try it again.

I love Jane Austen and have read everything she's written a million times.

I hope that the strange feeling in your chest went away and you were able to get your report done

Tuesday I couldn't sleep and all kinds of things were wrong.

I felt "off" and anxious and depressed and strange and really off.



=-=-
I am staying home from work on Wednesday.



I hope that I sleep.
