Lack of sleep!
Posted , 2 users are following.
hi all 😃.. well on a whole I think I'm getting better. really good days a few bad spells in the day but they clear up quick. a few bad days aswell. but on a whole I think things are getting better 😃.. the only things really that are annoying is. ringing in my ears that has been constant since I started sert way back in December. their is no sign of it going either 😦.. and the other is sleep. before this started I could fall to sleep in a washing line. but now it's very hit and miss. I can fall to sleep easy enough but I do get up at 5 in a morning and have a very physical job. so falling to sleep is not a issue. its I can only sleep for about 2 to 3 hours before I'm wide awake. and then I go back to sleep. and I'm awake every hour checking what time it is. or worrying about something. I must wake up at least 12 times a night and that's no exaggeration.. dose anybody else have these problems? I'm on sert for anxity and panic. I'm on 50mg

hey ryan.
i had the ringing in my ears too, its very very subtle now but did eventually decrease. the more i focused on it the more freaked out i would get by it. i would listen to podcasts to sleep and also white noise apps.
i also notice that i wake multiple times a night but always manage to fall back asleep. i learnt that its positive if youre able to go dtraight back to sleep it would be an issue if you were up for hours etc.
i think the best way of coping with all the new changes for me was recognising that i wasnt going to be the same as before and that while all these side affects can lessen over time, it could be just part of me now which is better than how i was feeling before sert.
do you best to avoid focusing on it, easier said than done i know 😃
