Maxine,
I am so glad you're alright! Jeez, I'm worried, too. So you get your new med tomorrow? What are you doing tonight?
hugs!

I didn't take anything last night but it didn't matter because I hadn't taken the Parnate since I woke up at 3:30 pm. So tonight I am taking Mogadon as suggested by Cactus and approved by my pdoc. My pdoc said he uses it a lot.

I passed out today while walking. I have a black eye. I don't know if it is from lack of sleep or hypotension from the Parnate. Either way it hurts like a bitch and is ugly

Maxine,
Oh you dear woman. I hope you weren't alone. Fainting is frightening, and I'm sorry about your eye--eyouch! I've heard on board here that parnate can do that to people. I forget, but a recent thread, and SLS commented on how to avoid the effects of walking up stairs (or something like that--sorry Scott!).
Do you have any alt remedies on hand? Arnica gels keep blood from stagnating and speed along bruise healing.
Oh sweetie, kudos to you for hiking, though.
Hugs & an ice pack,

oh you are having a really bad run Maxime, take care, hugs, C.
Arnica is amazing as FB suggested. Do you think it could be from missing a dose of Parnate the other day?PS did you get your script yet?

And I fainted on an escalator no less! My knees are a mess. People kept wanting to help me up but I just wanted to stay put. It was so embarrassing.

I can imagine. I'm sorry. I also am sorry I misread your post--I thought you were hiking! Well, embarrassed or not, I'm glad there were helpful people about. Nothing to be ashamed about fainting. Really.

It's 4 am and the new med didn't work. Do you think Haldol would do the trick. I am really to poke my eyes out with knitting needles.

What was the new med?
Haldol is actually activating. You want Thorazine. Did you get my list of sleep aids? There was some strong stuff on the list.

I will have to revisit the list. Thorazine doesn't make me tired anymore.

Of course, you could always just stop worrying about sleeping. Just let come as it may.

Maxime, I'm concerned, too. O.K. this might sound real dumb, but what if you went to the hospital? I don't know how that is in Canada, or how the hospital is near you. How many days w/o sleep has this been? Please, can you safely put yourself in someone's care (without them giving you unwanted meds)?

My doctor just called and he is giving me Loxapac which is an old antipsychotic. I am off to pick it up now. I hope it works. The problem is, I ended up sleeping from 9 am to 3-4 pm today so I don't know if I will be able to sleep. We shall see.
Off I go!

Hi Maxie:
I'm so so sorry you're having all this happening to you. What a bummer.
I think fb has an excellent idea. If this sleep med doesn't work tonight or you feel funny, could you go to the hospital?
Hey girl, the whole point here is to FEEL BETTER, not hurt yourself!!
I haven't been posting much. We're having a BIG blizzard here and my furnace went out. I'm in the process of getting a new water pump...should be good as new and cozy warm very soon now.
Keep us posted!
Love and hugs,
Gayle

It might work tonight because I didn't take the Parnate today. I woke up too late.
I have so many financial problems plaguing me and I can't sleep and I have no one to talk to. I think I might kill myself. How did I let this happen? I want to die.

I've created a mess that I can't undo. And I have no one to help me or who cares. Why am I always ALONE. I'm there for other people but no one is ever here for me!
I'm going to bed.

Despite having slept until 3pm yesterday, the Loxapac worked and I slept another 12 hours. I am very grateful. Now let's see if it works two nights in a row ... that will be the test. Although I hope it doesn't always make me sleep for so long as I am used to only sleeping about 4 hours a night. But I guess it's because I needed it. Yay Loxapac
PS My life is still a mess.
