> I had the EXACT same problem with the mind racing and sleep. "THE CURE IS" 12.5 mg of Seroquel (1/2 of a 25 mg tablet).
well, here is a thought that I shall share with my doctor. I see him on Friday and shall see if we can arrange this...
he does not like my sleeping in the mornings and being awake in the nights as this contributes to the depression part of my life or is a part of it or something...
and he is determined that I shall be up and awake and doing things in the daytime...
he has this exercise idea... and I do not DO strenuous things... running is against my religion as is jogging and bouncing activities and since they operated on my eyes anything that is bounce-oriented or strain-oriented is off the agenda anyway (halleluia!) so exercise is not in it now LOL
but I do a lot of walking and am going to get back into biking when the weather improves a little...
but that doesn't help me sleep... it does not turn off my mind at night... I read until all hours to stop the whirling dervish thing I call a brain... and have a notepad and pen on the bedside table to write down the better ideas I have to admit...
so I don't help myself I suppose...
more surgery is scheduled for the middle of the month and another visit to the psychologist for 13 May... I think his life is too dull since he cut me loose so he decided to invite some chaos back into it <s>
but I shall suggest this to my regular doctor and see if we can shut down the brain and sleep for a few hours when other people are sleeping.. what a concept
