Feeling tired but not sleepy
Posted , 3 users are following.
Hi all
I've been 12 weeks on cit, last 4 weeks on 40mg. This evening I just want to go to sleep and not wake up. Is this the meds making me feel like this or is it me going down the slippery slope yet again!!! I've had a reasonable day, my 4 hours at work at bit stressful, nice lunch with a friend attended aqua aerobics this evening. Then wham all of a sudden I just want to sleep and just not wake up. I just hate having these awful thoughts once their in there its difficult to make them go away. I've tried taking my mind of it but it;s there all the time.

I know it probably seems like you have felt like this forever but 12 weeks is still a very short amount of time in regards to anxiety/depression recovery and meds reaching there full potential.
If it's any consolation I to have been on mine for 12 weeks also and had a bit of a setback today and I still get horrible thoughts.
It takes time chick and you really are doing very well. It's all part of recovery..ups and downs...The downs and negative thoughts and feeling will get less and less as time goes on until you won't have them anymore,
Just carry on doing all that you are doing. Get out there and live your life and in time it will just come natural like before xxx

you think "I've done enough trying now,enough working on myself so just make it all better"!!
It can be very frustrating and exhausting some days.
You should be patting yourself on the back that you had a successful day and made it through regardless of what it threw at you.
It will get better Hun, if you think back to how you where feeling at the start of this journey until now,I'm sure you will see that slowly the layers are coming off xx

I def know where your coming from. I don't want to die but these thoughts are driving me crazy. I don't know why I would have some of the thoughts I'm having. I've been prozac before and it helped so much but I'm 5 days in on this and I don't know If I'm getting or worse.

In a few weeks time more positive things will start coming to mind and the other stuff will be easy to shrug off until you don't have them anymore.
Just keep affirming to yourself that you will be ok...that these are just anxious thought,not a reflection of the real you xxx
