D-4got10-01161725dEither that, or the aforementioned meds have some conflict w/ any other meds you might be taking.
Mentioning this result to the doc, that you had a better sleep when you forgot to take those meds is probably a good idea. At the very least they will know better your situation && the results of those meds on your body...
...in case the doc was wrong before or something. -
BordedDev201824d@jestdotty I agree with @whimsical sleep meds work by disabling parts of your brain so you're not actually sleeping but disconnected instead, my mom is a physio and will give you the same advice about taking something to relax instead

kiki3758524dI once skipped my meds because I didn’t have enough money to afford them. That night, I couldn’t sleep. I was shaking. New ideas were pouring in. Then, as tiredness was leaving my body, I realized I could see in 8k. Every smell was four-dimensional, my physical strength was increasing by the minute, and was crying because I was experiencing every emotion there is to experience at that very moment.
I’m fortunate and experienced enough to know that that high is how mania begins. Without medication, that superhuman state will carry on for three to four weeks in my case, followed by a year of deep depression that responds to neither conventional nor alternative medicine.
The kind of meds I take are designed to slow me down. Without them, it’s over for y’all bitches. Y’all be replaced. Then, after some time, it’s over for me too lol -
BordedDev201824dJust to clarify, advice is for people who want to sleep, not for other issues 😅

jestdotty620323d@whimsical on the other hand I'm told if I take these for a year and come out of it fine then I'll basically never have psychosis again
unless the doc lied. he's a smart cookie and his form of lying would be thru logic and I'm not validating what he's telling me. reminds me of my mother who would put me in boxes of logic. but I find logic so comforting 🤤
skipped my meds yesterday night by accident and just got the best sleep I've had in a month. yeah fuck these things
and they lied to me and told me they were sleeping meds the first time even tho that was unnecessary to be doing and they're not prescribed for sleep
I hate the medical field. that's so fucking gross
