Insomnia Is Horrible…
Starting 4 weeks ago, I began to develop insomnia. Every night when I try to fall asleep, my mind begins to race really quickly and I start to think that trying to sleep is a waste of time. Recently my doctor who diagnosed me with General Anxiety Disorder, prescribed me seroquel to help me sleep, but when I wake up in the morning, I feel very fatigued and all of my muscles in my body ach. I’ve already tried abilify, melatonin, seroquel, and benadryl. These sleeping pills either give me a horrible night of sleep, or they make me more awake then I was even before I took the medicine.
I tried to ask my doctor that I see for some other type of medication to help me sleep, but so far there has been no luck. He doesn’t want to put me on any benzos because I’m only 16, but I’ve tried them before and they help with my anxiety and insomnia. Hopefully next time I go to visit him, he’ll give me something that will actually work.
