Restlessness

I had one of those nights where I was up and down most of the night. I really hate it, because my body was tired, but my body wouldn't rest. Usually that means my mind is racing about things, but it really wasn't. So then I try to figure out whether it is my CPS keeping me awake, and that wasn't it either. So that starts my mind racing, and of course that does keep me up.

 

So at 4am, I decided to leave a message with my doctor about it. He has a message machine I can leave messages on as well as a service, but it wasn't serious enough to have left a message with the service. Besides, he has also left me his cell phone number if I need to call him directly. How many doctors out there would do that? I am really blessed to have this man taking care of me.

 

So I was able to get back to sleep after that call for a good 4 hours. I attribute that to calling my doc; kind of getting the sleeplessness worries off my back.

 

When I did get up, I wasn't quite sure if I had called him or not. I almost didn't care, as I was able to get back to sleep. Anyway, I guess I did call him, because the office did just call, and I have an appointment this afternoon now. Maybe we can discuss my medication as a cause of the sleeplesness.

 

If this was the first time this happened lately, I could dismiss it, but there have been several nights this week where this is the case. Time to get this under control, if it can be. Got to love the fact that my memory wasn't too bad in remembering that I called the doc.

 

Well, now is now, and I have to get ready. It's off to see the wizard...

I was having problems sleeping also.. I would wake every 2 hours.

 

About a yr ago he chnged me to Cymbalta 60mg in the am. About an hr or so before bedtime I take one Xanax. I now sleep thru most of the night, with maybe getting up once for the bathroom, then right back to sleep. I have a restless night once in awhile. I sure notice the difference with a good nights sleep.

 

Hope you get the same results with the Cymbalta and glad you have such a great Dr.
