Sleep Aid Addiction
Funny thing... I think I may be mentally addicted to sleeping aids.
Last night around 10:45 I was exhausted. I was lying in bed and falling asleep. I hadn't taken anything to put me to sleep, I was just tired. I realized at 11:00 that I was falling asleep and made myself get up and get ready for bed. I was so tired I could barely move to brush my teeth, etc. However, before getting in the bed I grabbed the bottle of Ambien CR and took one. Once i took it I said to myself, "now why did I just do that, I don't need it."
It's not just Ambien, because I don't takt that every night. Sometimes it's Xanax or if I am in pain also it's Tylenol w/codeine or Oxy if the pain is bad (I really try not to use this one), or Klonipin. The point is the act of taking a drug to sleep is becoming second nature to me.
That sucks.
By the way, I'm broke.... Have a mentioned that today ;-)

I here yah. But at least you realize it. That's a great thing. Great site thanks for sharing.
Oh the wonders of sleep meds! I'm taking Seroquel at night, which is to help me sleep and for mood stabilization. If I try to go to bed without it, I can't sleep. And I think it's just all in my head. I think my brain thinks I need it for sleeping, when actually I'm a great sleeper. I can usually fall asleep anywhere, anytime. So I know exactly what you're saying.
And I'm broke too! :)
