Hi all, I hope someone can help or advise me with this, I suddenly started having trouble sleeping - often waking up after 2,3 hours sleep, then taking some time to get back to sleep but was managing as was only working part time in the afternoons- so could sleep in/ try and nap.
Now I’m working three days a week, ten hour days and the insomnia has got worse- have just had two consecutive nights where I couldn’t get to sleep at all!
Now anxiety has reared its head, sore stomach, heart racing as trying to get some sleep to deal with the busy day ahead.
I saw GP two weeks ago who on my request prescribed hrt (after saying would never go on it!) along with amitriptyline. I called again today and have been given medicine for sore stomach and told to take two amitriptyline a day.
I’m really hope this works, otherwise I may have to give up the job after just over a month, which seemed such a good idea and needed financially before this became such a nightmare.
Does anyone have any advice/had similar experience? This has taken me over and I’m struggling to keep it in perspective.
Good Morning Saturday 20th April 2024
