Almost as a cruel 'fuck you' from the universe after last night's success of sleep, I have been wide awake since 4:00am (it's around 6:00am now) and getting to sleep was wonky too.
I took a full 10mg Ambien, and even taking 1mg of Klonopin at 4:00am didn't put me back to sleep.
I'm starting to feel like I have magical powers, where my body can absorb all sorts of powerful sedative drugs like it's simply breathing oxygen, with no reaction at all.
There's a clear correlation with what I do during the day to my sleep - if I exercise, or go out somewhere in the evening, before bed, I sleep better. Yesterday I was letting my legs rest after jogging and did not exercise - nor did I go out last night. Bam.
But this is the first night where 10mg of Ambien plus 1mg of Klonopin is not doing anything 4am onward. I have a lot of questions about what to do next, because my insomnia has clearly resulted from my psychiatric destabilization, even though during the day I am completely stabilized.
I realize this blog is new with a very small readership, but I'd love to hear any comments from people who might have gone through similar situations of chronic insomnia that's resulted from medication changes.
