Better living through chemistry

So, I've been dealing with insomnia since about mid-December. Everything that went down with my schooling efforts, job, money stress, etc...
it's been too much for me and while I can get to sleep, it usually doesnt last and I pop right back up.
The rest of the time, I lay, dozing, half-in and half-out of consciousness. That usually only lasts a couple of hours, most nights, then I pop up, fidget around, lay back down and either watch the clock or run scenarios from my life over in my brain and substitute what actually happened with what I wish had happened.

Anyway, I finally said something to my doc about it and she prescribed something to help me sleep.
I dont mind that the stuff is apparently addictive. I dont have an addictive personality and I've never had trouble with anything like that.

What I found amusing was the possible side effects: driving, eating or making phone calls with no apparent memory of the events the next day.
I've resolved to hide my phone from myself but in the event that I find it and call any of you at 3am, please record the call so we all can enjoy it later. Razz

I'd have to find a way to deal with the stress. I am not taking any meds I absolutely don't have to.

i've tried everything i can think of. my mama has been after me to get something to help me sleep for weeks and i finally gave in, so i'm going to give this a try. if i dont like it, giving it up wont be a problem.

I wouldn't be able to function at all without the sleep. I would definately take the meds.

i can tell a difference in my energy level and mood. my situation is dire enough without the benefit of a good night's sleep.

OK, I got one of her first drug induced calls. As she asked, I recorded it but that is one more FILTHY mouthed woman. If yall want, I will put up a link to it, but when she is wasted, she would make a drunken sailor blush.

If only I could believe the things she said....hehehe Twisted Evil

Sorry Sue, I had to tell them...ROFLMFHAO

there are actual calls, then there's wishful thinking.
3 guesses as to which category you're in right now, Sab [and the first 2 dont count].

Now why would you let facts get in the way of a good story?
