Does sleep apnea fall under the realm of mentally ill?

No but depression does!

Maybe you need to lose some weight and stop smoking. They cause sleep apnoea.

Your body will aclimatise itself to the drugs and fairly fast, but a certain amount of grogginess is to be expected, it is part of the treatment for now, the bonus being a normal sleep pattern.
So buck up, it may seem horrid right now, but it will get better.

I'm of the same mind, one zombie month for the chance at a normal and dependable lifestyle is how I'm looking at it. I think I seem to have sacrificed a sense of enthusiasm and/or humor in the process.

I liked you better when I believed that you were only pretending to be crazy.

So you've moved from loathing to what?

I took one the first night I was prescribed them, and noticed nothing. They sat in my cupboard for a year. When my back got seriously hurt, and I could not even sleep without sharp pains, I got desperate and tried 2-3. That works MUCH better. Maybe you've tried that, and you really should take them on an empty stomach, but they do have a kick.

Normal and dependable :ghey:

Oh, and I've had to take Zolpidem Sandoz lately, cos I couldn't sleep. Worked really well too. I've not slept like that for years. But idk if it's because of those tablets, or what, but the first nights I quit it, the nightmares were terribad. Surreal as fuck, but the kind that had me waking up soaking wet with sweat at four in the morning.


With that in mind, you might want to quit what you're on gradually, rather than quit it straight off, when you do.

Why not just self-medicate with hard liquor like a real man would.

How much is enough? When he gets in his car and starts trawling the streets looking for his ex flames? :pinch:
