Insomnia
"I&#039;ve had insomnia since I was 14, I&#039;m 35 now. My insomnia stems from abuse as a child which led to PTSD. When I was about 23 I was diagnosed as bi-polar. I don&#039;t think I&#039;ve ever really slept like a normal person. I&#039;ve been on so many different sleep aids. I have had 2 sleep studies, the most recent confirmed that I don&#039;t have sleep apnea but that I don&#039;t have normal sleep. I started Clonazepam a couple weeks ago after the combination of ativan 2mg and amitriptyline 300 mg stopped working. My doctor started me at 0.5mgs I took it for 2 weeks and it had no effect on me, so she raised it to 1mg and I don&#039;t know what I&#039;m supposed to feel but I&#039;m definitely not tired, I&#039;m up till 3 or 4 in the morning. It&#039;s honestly one of the most frustrating things."
