I had trouble sleeping, took the sleep study test and came back as no problems .. then they tried to sell me a breath/sleep mask and air

just in case …sheesh.

It seems for me to be the Anxiety and Depression that ruin my sleep, though ADH adds to the restless mind but then I wear out and sleep mid day .. i think i am running onadhrenalin .. hyperness and that burns up and i am exhausted

I am on WellButrin and Straterra, the latter wakes me up .. dumb, but also on Lorazapam and that helps to calm my mind enough that i sleep … then i wake up early … 4 a.m. take another Lorazapam and sleep until 7 a.m. seems to help.

It has done wonders for stopping the anxious, dreams that i had, the kind where you think you are awake but paralised and it turns out

to be a dream … damn i hated those.

The drugs arent doing much yst for the ADH … but i am beginning to see how wrong much of my behavior has been .. i tend to panic and drop control .. been doing it for decades … chronic anxiety leads to a kind of control issue reaction that makes me impossible .. sadly took along time to become aware of it …

Family doctor said that getting solid sleep and exercise are major helpful in controlling the ADH symptoms and like the drugs will give

space for me to start changing my behavior .. what i really need is someone pointing out when i am going off the rails .. guess i have to watch out more carefully … hyperness seems the clue … best of luck all
