this is the third night of insomnia and i gotta tell ya, it is starting to get a bit annoying.

I am the opposite on here...before my GP put me on my nightmeds I could easily stay awake many nights in a row (christmas 2007 I was living a week or a week and a half on my sofa during uni stress) but since I am on those meds I am put back into bedtime routine [>:] He was fucking right after I could not tell him what my usual bedtime is (as he was trying to say at what time to take the meds, and so could only come to the conclusion to tell me to take them 2 hours before I plan to go to bed) with saying "that might bring you back into a bed time routine."
And seriously, since then I have not one single night where I could stay awake...and seriously...I could have needed them to have more time for my uni work...since I am on them my body seriously craves to be laid to rest [>:] That's hard to believe sometimes as a born night owl [&o]
Wow...I want some of that! What do you take? Cmail me if you want and don't wanna share it here! Please!? I am soooooooooo tired of insomnia!
lol, I am on amitriptyline 25mg...I got this as I woke up in pain every 1-2 hours during the night time (which is hard to imagine considering I enjoyed to sleep 12-13 hours most of my life, leaving my parents telling me that I am oversleeping half of my life) when my fibromyalgia worsened over here. At that time I used to wake up as my whole body (and I mean from top to toe) was stiff and the side I was lying on was in immense pain...that left me then to turn over every 1-2 hours which took me ages to do due to the stiffness and due to the pain and was far from pleasant, knowing that I am facing the same situation again in 1-2 hours...I started to hate to even imagine going to bed by that time as that pain was just unimaginable...
My GP explained to me after I was on it through him that it numbns my nerves and so enables me to sleep pain free (in the beginning for 12-13 hours and by now for 6-8 hours, it was down to 4 hours but since I went to sunny tenerife last summer for a week, that warm weather and just relaxing improved my condition a lot...otherwise I would have gone back to the GP to review my meds, as he asked me to get back to them once it isnt sufficient anymore for me).
It is also used for people with depression and for bed wetting kids but people with depression take a higher dosage than the 25mg which I am taking. Another benefit for me is that I am now painfree most of the time for 24/7...which isn't the case when I tried to use the 10mg instead...so it does not only help me at night time but also at daytime now (though I was used to be in pain at daytime about 300 days per year...but that worsening of the condition particular over night was not something I could cope with).
So simply as it numbens my nerves it also relaxes the muscles (that's at least how I understood him, can be wrong about that) and so it does knock me out big time...my eyes are watering when it sets in and it takes real effort at times to still move my muscles enough to get to bed...as they just feel so damn heavy by then.
