I can't sleep when I don't take my meds

Can you?..

I take my meds in the morning.

I’m no where near falling asleep right now though.

Only been getting 7 hrs for about a week now. I’m used to 10 or 12.

I need my Seroquel to sleep.

Finally a yawn. Goodnight folks.

No. I can’t sleep when I don’t take my med’s. When I get off my med’s I am euphoric for a period of time. That makes it tempting to quit taking them. After the period of euphoria life takes a dramatic change for the worse.

I cant sleep when I dont take my meds. I sleep more restfully when I take my meds and I dont slip in and out of sleep throughout the night.

Is this because were “manic” wihout medicine or maybe it is the body getting accustomed to a “sleeping pill”? Ive been sleeping badly for the last week. It is now two months since my last shot of invega sustenna.

For the few times When I can’t sleep, it reminds me I’ve forgotton my meds.

I usually like to take them, seroquel and trazadone. They are a treat for sleep as a reward for making it through another day.

Being unable to sleep is a common problem with SZ. I take Latuda, Seroquel and an anti HBP pill at night.

I have never missed a dose.

My medication makes me feel sleepy and groggy and helps me fall asleep.

I fear if I missed a dose I would not be able to fall asleep, and be very anxious with super loud voices and racing thoughts and manic.

I can’t sleep when I don’t take my meds either. It seems to be a common problem. I hope you can get some rest tonight!

The neurontin and Topomax that I take at night help me to fall asleep, I also take Tylenol pm for my arthritis.

No sir I cannot sleep without my pills. I can stay awake for days without sleep. I’ll just lyie in bed wondering what’s wrong with me.

I’m the same exact way.

I can’t sleep without my pills either. If I go a day without meds, I get constant hallucinations of every variety. With meds, I sleep 9- 12 hours a night, and no hallucinations. I know I’m blessed.

yes but meds never really help me…
