Hi Shadyglade,
Much better night sleep - thank you for asking.
I was in quite a bit of a state yesterday. So much so that I rang the surgery and by some miracle got an appointment that morning. I saw a different GP who just listened to me talk. Well, I say talk it was more whimpering than talking
Anyway, I rambled on about being literally frightened out of my wits of taking something that could be potentially additive. I did say it was a total irrational fear...but I fear nonetheless.
She has prescribed a small strip of sleeping tablets (apologies, I don't have them with me, so I can't recall what they are called) and a months supply of Mitrazpine. The deal is that I will take the sleeping tablets jut to end this vicious cycle of not sleeping. Once I have come of them and I'm still having issues, then I will take the Mitrazipine at night and go back to see her in a months time.
Just having a plan in my mind, made me feel a lot better and I left her office feeling a little bit lighter (if that makes any sense).
I would like to thank you and CLKD for being there for me yesterday. I had literally hit a wall and was feeling very desperate. OH was brilliant, but unless you have been through it, I'm not sure how much you can "feel"how that person's pain.
So a big online hug from me
