Insomnia

For patients with mild insomnia, some antihistamines, such as diphenhydramine (Benadryl) or hydroxyzine (Atarax) may be used, since these also cause sleepiness.

I don't know about sleeping for days at a time. But my ex, would have insomnia. She would have her "Rage" episodes sometimes in the middle of the night. We would go to bed and everything was fine. I would wake up in the middle of the night and she would be very angry accusing me of whatever. I could say one little thing during the day not thinking anything of it, and she would twist what I said in her mind and I guess dwell on that until she exploded. This happened about 3 times I dated her for 7 months.

Yes, I have heard that narcissists get a weird high from working long hours (kind of like a state of mania) and then suddenly crashing and sleeping for 72 hours at a time. I know a particular narcissist that does this.

It's strange because I had this problem when my period was messed up. I couldn't sleep for more than 4 hours for days at a time and it was when my period was here for more than a week. So it might be. Hormones can keep you awake for long periods of time.

I have heard that puraEPA (very pure form of fish oils) is a very good substitute for anti-depressants.

Actually, insomnia is rare with Sulfamethoxazole (Bactrim). A study done, with over 66,000 patients/subjects, insomnia was reported in only 1.38% of patients taking Sulfamethoxazole (Bactrim). IOW, insomnia is not at all "common", when taking Actually, insomnia is rare with Sulfamethoxazole (Bactrim). What can also be said is that taking this medication can cause insomnia, though in very rare cases. You can look up some studies that directly tested this.

There is no easy way to answer this as it depends on multiple factors.

Assuming you have figured out the correct dosage for your body, the insomnia can wear off between one week to a month; Though some have reported 3-4 days.

Things that can make the insomnia take longer to wane:

Levels of stress

Over/under stimulated

Time you take the medication

Medication to high

Yeah both are a problem. Not sleeping can lead to improper growth and immune system problems, and not eating can lead to malnutrition, which leads to a variety of other problems.

My doctor actually recommended Capsicum oil, an extract of cayenne, to treat insomnia. As my doctor explained it, the warming sensation leads to a reaction in the body that is similar to the effect of getting a bad sunburn- have you ever noticed that sunb exposure can make you sleepy? After being heated up all day, the body becomes very tired after all that stress.

Absolutely, positively, the first thing that must be ruled out is possible medical conditions. Without a competent medical rule-out, you would not be able to get to the bottom of this.

You describe a very complicated set of symptoms, and even when the symptoms are fewer and/or less complex it can be a process to come to the right conclusion. I doubt that there is one single DSM diagnosis that would adequately cover everything you mention. I think there would be a cluster of disorders, from the current categories of the question, that might cover most of them. There could also be some psychotic involvement.

Insomnia can be caused by many things such as too much caffeine, foods, stress, anxiety, and depression.

There are 9! permutations of the word 'insomnia.' That includes all combinations, whether they are or are not actual words.

Ceftin, which is a brand name for the antibiotic cefuroxime axetil, is not commonly associated with insomnia as a side effect. However, individual reactions to medications can vary, and some people may experience sleep disturbances due to factors like anxiety or other side effects. If you suspect that Ceftin is affecting your sleep, it's best to consult with your healthcare provider for advice.

Yes, being the Shukaku's host. If he were to ever fall asleep, the Shukaku will eat away at him while he sleeps, giving the Shukaku full control over Gaara. This is the cause of Gaara's black rings under his eyes, a trait that he had since birth.

Actually yes. If you have an allergic reaction to it it can cause insomnia. Usually you won't get it unless your in immediate danger of it.

Most people count sheep to go to sleep, but this is not always the case.

People have been known to count many things such as their favorite food, celeb, or anything that could be boring and get them to sleep.

There are two different classes of drugs to remember: stimulants, and another class sometimes called barbiturates. In other words, uppers and downers. Risperdal for me caused great long periods of sleep, to an almost dangerous level, such as a virtual coma. If someone has insomnia and night agitation, need to look at other possible elements in the diet (caffeine, sugars, excessive vitamins or minerals), also lifestyle or environment sometimes cause these nervous disorders. Risperdal is a very heavy 'downer', and should be making a person sleep very soundly for a very long time, even drowsy during the daytime. It is a prescription drug used to dose very serious mental problems, and should not be self diagnosed, nor used without a doctor's direct supervision. Sometimes a person using Risperdal, will be overcompensating for the depressive effect, by using more of the common stimulants, such as a few extra cups of coffee. That type of use of this prescription drug can be dangerous not only to the user, but the toxic effects may affect the people working around them. In my opinion this drug, Risperdal should be used in closed and quarantined hospital environments only, and not in the home or in the workplace. Just as germs and virus spread around from the breath and touch, so do dangerous drugs and their effects.

Unless you're a doctor or a psychologist, you can't. Insomnia is a medical condition best treated by those specializing in the field.

Diuretics And Insomnia - The Connection

Whether a person is on a diuretics prescription plan or uses substances that fall under the category of diuretics, the ultimate connection between diuretics and insomnia remains the same. The connection between diuretics and insomnia here is that urination frequency, specifically during the sleep hours, can significantly disrupt a person's sleep patterns and give rise to insomnia.

Another usual side-effect of diuretics is the constant feelings of thirst. Thirst can be an additional contributor to a person's sleeplessness. This in a way represents another indication of the unfavorable direct links between diuretics and insomnia.

When people put together diuretics and insomnia, the end-result is often the same - more sleepless nights and/or constant waking up throughout the night to go to the bathroom and urinate. Diuretics and insomnia pose an unhealthy combination as the use of the former can lead to the development of the latter.

Zopiclone is generally effective for short-term management of insomnia, helping individuals fall asleep faster and reduce nighttime awakenings. It works as a sedative-hypnotic and is typically prescribed for a limited duration due to potential dependence and tolerance. While many find it beneficial, its use should be closely monitored by a healthcare professional to minimize risks and side effects. Long-term reliance on zopiclone is not recommended, as it does not address underlying causes of insomnia.
