Sleep deprived symptoms and conditions

I think this works best for me of all the others I've tried. Most longer acting sleep aids, make groggy or I can't get out of bed...Sonata has a very short acting period of 4 hours. So if I toss and turn for hours I can still get up and take it because I have enough time. It's definitely saved me from a lot of sleep deprived misery and I am thankful for that. I did experience some memory loss problems, usually because I didn't go straight to bed and lay down. This pill hit me in 5 minutes once....unbelievable. I've never been ab le to fall asleep in under an hour.

I have only taken 2 Fosamax pills (once a week) and after taking the second one, I have experienced severe lower back, right leg, left foot pain. Can anyone tell me how long they experienced this side effect. I will not be taking Fosamax anymore, needless to say. Before taking this medication, I was fine. I am sleep deprived because the pain is worse when lying down.

I took this medicine, 10 mg, for 30 days then went back to the doctor. I had absolutely no side effects so the dr. gave me a 3 month prescription. So I began taking the refilled lisinopril and within 2 weeks, I could hardly function. I got progressively more tired and had odd headache and feeling like I was sleep deprived for days. I almost wrecked my car, as I was so tired I could not think. It took me a while to figure out it was the medicine so I stopped it and the next day I felt like my old self. So I decided I would take it at bedtime but the effects still hung on during the day. Then my husband and I went out of town and he is on the same medicine only 20 mg, (he has no side effects) so I had my 10 mg and gave him 2 of them. Within 1 hour he was dizzy, lightheaded, sick to his stomach and felt awful. What is up with this? So now I am stumped. I cut one of his 20 mg in half and had no side effects at all.

Hello, I have had severe fibromyalgia, Crohn's disease, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome which put me in the bed for about four years. My pain was so severe, I was put on morphine. They were ready to put the morphine pump in when I just rebelled and put my foot down. I was tired of everyone ruling my life. I was like a zombie but was still in severe pain. When I pulled off the medication, it left me with neuropathy in my feet. I asked the doctor to put me on Neurontin for that. I had no idea how it was going to effect my fibromyalgia. The very first pill I took, I was scared to take it because I am so hyper sensitive. It eased my entire body down and it felt so good. For the first time in such a long time, I had the best nights rest. i had been sleep deprived for years. Since then, the doctor has eased my dose up and I am presently on 1200 mg a day. I am starting to excercise my muscles for the first time lifting cans of soup. I know that sounds funny but I have come from my death bed. I am concentrating so much better. I am working on a home study course and being able to get up very early and go to bed at a good time. I again stress that I sleep so well. The only thing I can see that has happened differently is that my vision has gotten worse. I don't know if it is from that. My pupils are not equal either as someone else has mentioned. I also have had some ringing in my ears but I am taking other medications too and can't say that it is just neurontin that is causing it. I have hope now where I didn't have before in my life. I can't say enough good about what Neurontin has done for me. You have to start out very low on it and gradually go up. Carole

It appears that this drug played havoc with me psychologically. It caused severe depression to the point of suicidal tendencies, mood swings, crying fits and severe anger and rages. It messed up my sleep so much that I am now severely sleep deprived. And all this has been building up for like 6-9 months. I have lost sao much in the past two-three months, what I feel is the peek of the build up of this med in my system, and I believe it is due to this med. I lost my job that until recently I loved so very much, a very important person in my life and all my support systems. Everyone said I was going crazy and I believed them. I stopped taking the med for two days and already am starting to feel a bit clearer.
I found some websites, including medical ones, that say pschological side effects, though not very common, are known to happen. The very ones that occured to me.

I was prescribed this medication for 3 days for a UTI. The night of the third and final dose, I had leg cramps ALL night long. When it was discovered that the cause of my UTI was salmonella, I was prescribed a double dose to be taken for 10 days. I am once again experiencing awful leg cramps at night. I am now sleep deprived also!

I had a migraine for 8 days, nothing would help. Saw my chiropractor, then saw my primary doc. She realized my bp had been climbing steadily over the past 2 years. I am 31, female, slightly over wieght with bp 135-150/90-100. I tried to use CO Q 10 supplements 300 mg once daily. I have to say I felt GREAT but my bp stayed the same and the headache was beter, mild but persistant. I gave in and started taking lisinopril 10mg. Head ache has been better, mild and hit and miss. Ok, that is the only thing I can say for it. I have such a God aweful back ache I just want to cry. My cough is keeping me up at night and is sometimes gagging, my asthma is way,way worse, and the thought of spicy food forget it. Had pizza at my brothers house. I took zantac then tried to eat 20 minutes or so later. I nearly threw up, and not because of usual upset feeling. Reflux was just horrible.It has only been three weeks but my bp is up to 160/100, maybe because I feel so bad and sleep deprived. I will call my doc tomorrow. Thanks to this page I know I am not just falling apart. By the way my mom started this same med 3 months ago. She is fine with it, except for the cough maybe. She is an asthmatic, smoker, with allergies. It is had to say when her cough gets worse, but she has complained that her asthma has really bothered her early this year. HHMMM.....

I've never been this dry in my life. Even my skin is chapped ! I was so sleep deprived that I started falling out in meeting. Constantly in a daze.
