I sure wish they could identify the difference in med induced nightmares and psychosis related ones.
I struggle with it every single night.
I had no problem sleeping at first. Or before I got sick for that matter.
At first the meds made me sleepy. The Geodon and the Benedryl.
But then that honeymoon phase wears off and the insomnia comes.
The third time I was hospitalized I was up for five days. I begged for Ambien but all they would give me was Remeron. That just makes you hungry.

I am happy with Lunesta now. And it’s generic now. I used to have to get the name brand when I first started taking it.
I took remron for a week it only worked the first night. Well same thing happened to me with trazodone and Seroquel I give up.
Sleep architecture alterations included higher sleep onset latency (SMD, 0.96; 95% CI, 0.62-1.3) …
Does it mean that >95% of psychotics fall alseep 0.62 up to 1.3 minutes later than the mean from the control that have no psychosis or what is it in minutes?
@firemonkey I assume the numbers are how you can properly interpret the data. There is a probability distribution for the control group, and there is one for the psychosis subjects, and for each stat there is such a distribution. The two distributions were standardized to a normal distributions with different means and variance and then compared with the so called standardized mean difference. I don’t know how to think about the numbers from your article!
i didnt suffer from any sleep disturbances before or after being diagnosed with schizophrenia
