Slept like crap last night from over eating and drinking.sigh
Self sabotage.... no seroquel though
tonight I will be good and not over due and try just the klonipin without the seroquel.
We shall see. have to run.
I will be late to my assisted living place this morning out of town...I hate having to get up but when you are awake already then it is easier getting up early. I dragged my *** out of bed! second cup of fresh coffee for the road.
I did do my exercises this morning!
have a good day yall.

Enjoy your Sunday.

I'm glad that you didn't take the Seroquel since you overindulged even though that meant you had to suffer with the insomnia

I hope that you had better luck last night with the Klonopin. Since you want to keep the Klonopin, it should be your first line of defense, but take the Seroquel if you need it

slept better even though I over indulged again....

Can't remember if I told you that I got a $5 card for my abilify?
Well the insurance company doesn't recognize that so They think I am paying the full $1400 a month for it and it goes toward my deductible which is great! That means in 3 months I will have used my $4K deductible up and then have to pay 20% (80/20) After that. so Therapy will be affordable Starting in August. about $25 for each visit. Tdoc(I pay $98) and PT(I pay $75).

Would you tell the insurance company the truth?
Am I going to hello for this?

Thats good that you slept better. My sleep still sucks Im still waking up every 1.5 to 3 hours. Usually its closer to 1.5 to 2 hours on avg. I have no problems falling back to sleep. I was supposed to have a sleep study done back on May 5, but had to reschedule (sadly the earliest I could get was in mid-late july ) because my mom had some medical issues after I took her home from the ER. She was given a shot of morphine and 3 pills (likely were vicodin) for excruciating knee pain. She started feeling dizzy when she got up from the hospital bed. She vomited on the parking lot when we got to the walgreens to fill her Rx of ultram. She then vomited again inside my apartment (in the trash can thankfully )as I was walking in.

I am sorry your mother has knee issues. Sounds very painful and awful to throw up!
I hope she is better some.
What are you taking/tried taking for sleep?
I took benadryl for 2 years before it stopped working.
Then tried ambien but that was awful. I stayed up after taking it, while camping and having drank quite a bit of alcohol I remember trying to cut up branches around a fire and falling ....sigh

I dont know what exactly is the cause of my sleep issues....but I do know that it was preceded by a nasty sleep jerk sometime in mid late feb. My chest arched forward a bit. Ever since my sleep has been out of whack. I only had one night where I slept for more than 4 hours (5.5 actually) because I hadnt slept for nearly 3 days.

Gethprime, I'm sorry you have been sleeping so shitty for so long. You could have sleep apnea and/or restless legs syndrome from the symptoms you are describing. I hope that they get to the bottom of it when you have the sleep study (I have had 2 and have sleep apnea). I don't know if you are on meds, or on any, but some of them can cause the movements and sleep interruptions you're describing, too. I hate it when MDs try to blame everything on meds tho.

I'm so sorry about your poor mum
Is she going to need surgery for her knee, or did she fall or have another kind of injury that won't need repair?
It sounds like she is really suffering… I hope she feels better soon

Definitely don't rat yourself out to the insurance company Bizi!!!
You are not the first person to use one of these programs through a drug company, I don't think it matters how you are meeting the copay, and I definitely don't think you are going to hell

I'm so happy that you don't have to worry about getting the care you need because of the cost

I slept like crap last night. so I guess I am going to have to take the seroquel whether I like it or not. unless I try taking other over the counter meds again. I could try melatonin????
I wonder if that works quickly or has to be in your system a while?
I want to stay on my klonipin though it is not working to get me to sleep. I asked to change to ativan instead of the klonipin...which does not stay in your system as long and can contribute to morning grogginess.
