Thanks for the idea. I have Ambien that I can take and Xanax if it gets too bad, but my doc says he prefers me not to use the xanax at all. YET, before he increased the Lex he was going to just add Klonipin along with the Ambien. In other words, he was going to have be alternate Klonipin and Ambien every other night. My main complaint to begin with was I just wasn't getting enough sleep. He says it was due to too much anxiety and stress. But, I told him I didn't want anymore medicine than I have to take and Klonipin was not my choice of drug. That's when he increased the Lex.
Now for some good (and sorta bad)news. It's 3:30pm and I'm awake!!! Yes, a few yawns, but nothing that makes me want to go to bed or even lay down. However, I am all wrapped up in my chair, and frozen and achy. Why? Because after coming out of my volunteer job, it was snowing.. And the darn ice on the road was covered up. I slipped on it, my pop in my hand went one way, my purse went another, and down I went. Right on my bottom with my left leg( sore from a DVT having been in it back when I had the brain tumors and pulmonary embolism 2001)bent at the knee and under me. Also , I went backward hitting the back of my head, but fortunately not hard enough to cause me any damage.
I was able to get up,but a little dizzy. Got to my car. Sat for a few minutes, called my hubby on the cell phone and he talked with me on the way home. I was only less than half mile, but I wanted to make sure I was ok.
Needless to say, the groceries and laundry? Not done!! Not yet anyway .LOL
Oh well, I didn't have all my coupons cut out.
Maybe tonight I will sleep better. Accentuate the positive, right?
Hope everyone else is safe out there!!
