Why I've been MIA
Kirstenmumof3 wrote: On November 1 I was admitted to the hospital with the advice of my Family doctor, my DH and my bestfriend. I at that time was depressed and having difficulty sleeping. I was discharged a week later, with a med increase. This increase in my sleeping med cause me to have violent, graphic, vivid, disturbing and intrusive dreasm. I was affraid to fall asleep and decided to stop taking my sleeping medication. I saw my Family doctor again on November 15 and advised me to just decrease the dose of my sleeping med back to it's original dose. On the 16, I was so sleep deprived, thinking very irrationally, that I decided to re-admit myself back to the hospital. My sleeping med was changed altogether and now I'm just waiting for it to work. I didn't get very much sleep lastnight, I was moved from my lovely private room to a semi-private and needless to say my roommate was not exactly quiet! I am home now on an overnight pass, hoping to get some sleep! I'm very tired! I will be reasessed in the morning. So I will probably discharged tomorrow.

kit_kats_mom replied: Kirsten, I'm so glad that you have the support system that you need. Sorry the first meds didn't work out so well. Hopefully, the new ones will be better for you. I know that I am a mental mess even on my best days if I don't get enough sleep....add actual depression on top of it and I can only imagine.
take care of yourself.

Kirstenmumof3 replied: Well I didn't get discharged yesterday! I am home on a pass and have to be back at the hospital soon. The psychiatrist wanted to make sure that the sleeping meds were working before she discharged me. So I'm stuck in the hospital until Monday.
CantWait replied: Sorry to hear that Kirsten. Hopefully you get some sleep, and are back at home on Monday.
kimberley replied: i am glad they gave you new meds. i hope they work better. hope you go home soon!
redchief replied: Hope you all find a combination that works. From one who is sleep deprived to another, I know how you feel. Don't give up until you can rest peacefully!
Kirstenmumof3 replied: Well I would have had a nice sleep if they hadn't moved someone into my room at 11:00 lastnight! I was just falling asleep and the lights were on and then they had to interview her. All this time I'm thinking "You can't take her into one of the interview rooms?" I was furious! I don't mind having a roommate, and it actually turns out to be someone that I know, so it was okay. But I didn't get to sleep until after 1:00. I'm so tired! I'm sick of this hospital, they have no respect for their patients and I'm tired of being messed around.
CantWait replied: WOW that's not fair at all. Sorry Kirsten.
lisar replied: I dont know what to say. Sorry you are having to go thru this.
