I came down with a particularly nasty strain of the flu that landed me in the hospital with my throat swollen shut. The doctor put me on Tamiflu 3 days ago…. and I haven't been able to sleep since. Every time I try to lie down, my mind suddenly starts racing and I can't sleep. I know that insomnia is one of the side effects…. is there a way to counter it? Has anyone ever taken it and dealt with the same problem?
Insomnia (sleeplessness) is due to stress, dietary and medical
problems. By making small lifestyle changes like having a fixed
daily routine, relaxing and eating properly, insomnia can be
cured. I found the information at http://tinyurl.com/jfzpz useful
for getting sleep.
How do you deal with insomnia while taking Tamiflu?
Posted by admin | Under what is insomnia Tuesday Jan 13, 2009Can anxiety and insomnia lead to mental health problems in future?
Posted by admin | Under what is insomnia Sunday Jan 11, 2009I am 27 and have difficulty handling stress. I also have very bad insomnia; even with sleeping pills I find it hard to fall asleep! I worry about my future mental health. Could I end up with serious problems when I am older?
don't pick on people
jump on failures
criticize their faults
unless,
of course,
you want the same treatment
Can you think of any songs about insomnia or simply not being able to sleep?
Posted by admin | Under what is insomnia Friday Jan 9, 2009I am trying to put together a mix CD about insomnia and/or not being able to sleep for my Mom, who is suffering from trauma induced insomnia. I am looking for pretty much any genre of music, although she's a baby boomer, so she's not much of a death metal gal, if you know what I mean. Thanks in advance for your help!
the song brainstew by greenday says "im having trouble trying to sleep"? haha but what about some songs to help her fall asleep?
Maybe…
lullabye by shawn mullins
lullaby by jack johnson and matt costa..which is actually about trying to fall asleep.
What is an appetite suppressant that I can take at night without getting insomnia from it?
Posted by admin | Under what is insomnia Wednesday Jan 7, 2009Trying to lose weight like so many of us. One of my main problems is night compulsive eating. I don’t want to feel nauseous, like some appetite suppressants can do. And I don’t want it to keep me up (I’m already taking something for insomnia, and the last thing I need is to make it worse.)
Don't give obnoxious comments that judge me for wanting help with losing weight. It's OBVIOUSLY not helpful.
Try eating hard-boiled egg whites. They keep you full throughout the night.
Can constant boredom and no socializing create insomnia?
Posted by admin | Under what is insomnia Monday Jan 5, 2009I am new to this area, I know no one, I read a lot and surf the web, no tv; I have problems sleeping and eating. I cannot eat in the morning. Is this insomnia and loss of appetite connected with constant boredom?
bmac you are an idiot. I am not complaining about how things are so bad for me, I'm asking a question as to whether this is why I have no appetite and insomnia.
everyone, I don't think I'm depressed, or if I am, I'm handling it quite well.
And I am a Christian and read my bible daily.
I don't think its the socializing, i think its more the fact that you are on the web a lot and not really exercising.
