Guest [ak...] Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Anyone suffering with total insomnia for months? I have loss of awareness, long term and short term memory loss, loss of cognitive functions, brain feels asleep. I’m worse everyday without sleep, I really can’t sleep at all I lost all of my sleep progressively. I can’t live like that anymore two years of insomnia total insomnia since January first I’ve had some fake sleep on meds, now I’m a month and a half off I’ve lost all my sleep didn’t sleep for more than a week, my brain is just not working anymore I totally lost ability to sleep. Benzos only worked for me for a month. Then I was constantly withdrawing for two years, anyone I need some hope, my brain is under active, I can’t talk, I can’t think, like my brain is not working properly and is missing, can’t see my eyes and brain just doesn’t work.

Hi I mentioned on your "anyone please" thread that it would help to put a signature in to see your dosing/tapering history. What do you mean by "fake sleep" Do you actually know you are awake all the time, total insomnia would be someone who is aware and awake all the time. Sadly I used to take speed and stay awake several days, not a good idea, I knew I was awake, when the speed wore off I would dose again and go about my business day or night, poor terrible idea, did me no good. Pharmaceutical meds aren't good for sleep, sure, they work, but they cause damage and their effectiveness wears off. Am I right in saying you only took Benzes a month? What was the other med you took? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bless you, would it help you to read the "success stories" thread, this will give you some hope that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Don't read the starts of the posts where they struggle skip to the end where you can see them coming out the other end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
