Absolute Insomnia

I don't even know where to begin. I'm scared to *ell. For privacy or security reasons I won't be using names. I will use ###. So, I met ###. This ### said: my lover dumped me. I became mentally depressed for long. ### went to a doctor who prescribed antidepressant 'Zyprexa'. ### was taking 20mg of Zyprexa (Called OLANZAPINE). ### had to discontinue with the medicine because ### gained excessive weight and was terrified to death. Few weeks (I think) into the medication ### completely quit the drug. ### suddenly quit. Now ### says: I can't sleep again. I have been to a couple of doctors and no remedy yet. I HAVE NOT HAD A WINK FOR OVER 150 DAYS!!!. I'm dying! My head is hot. Help me, ###.

I have been kind of repulsive towards ### recently because I have no solution. People said it's a crazy(strange) or impossible situation. However ### is in torment. No wink! No sleep! Please I f you can help ### just for my sake, please do. I'm terrified myself - how much more ###.

Re: Absolue Insomnia

I remember in those days when I was much younger I used to suffer a kind of insomnia for hours and slept for about 1:30mins per night. It lasted for a very long time. I used to also sleep during the day - when nature called. God delivered me from that condition. I was prayed for. However, ###'s case is quite different. ### has never slept or felt sleepy for over 150 days

No sign of organ failure? Do they excersize? Do they eat well? Have them go to a Thai restraunt and eat Sukiyuki with some sticky rice. That will put anyone out! (maybe not your friend, multi-pound, but certainly me)
 
This whole situation is scary to me. I have never seen anything like it all my life. How can someone stay awake that long and still live? Anyway, I just got off a conversation with a distant friend who says, there are similar casese - but this is extreme. Honestly I have been trying to avoid ###. I feel guilty. :sad:sad:sad:sad

Taking any medication will have side effects, sometimes serious consequences which can never be reverted. Taking medication for brain related must be carefully considered.

Was Jesus in extreme stress and depressed at the garden before He was betrayed? Absolutely! Scripture even describes a condition that His blood mixed with his sweat. called Hematidrosis

Being depressed or extreme stressed is NOT a disease. People have a mindset to just get over stress or depression by some magic medicine is utter foolishness and will often result in adverse effects. If depression is a disease, then Christ is not a perfect sacrifice because He experienced Hematidrosis, from extreme stress or depression.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olanzapine gives you and idea of what it is and from the look of it, it is not very good.

I would suggest ### to drink a lot of water to dilute the effects of that medicine, engage in activities and hobbies ### like and involve in it actively. It usually takes twice of amount of time of they had contact with each other, for ### to completely forget a person or completely ignore it as if it is only a dream - more than 3 times the "time they had contact with", most people don't even remember faces.
 
I wish I could help, but sometimes I think drugs can do some permanent damage (even so-called innocent cholesterol pills are not so innocent, otherwise why would they keep checking your liver?), and now you know why I am so passionate, to the point of perhaps being a jerk, against them. I know you made wonderful strides getting yourself off some of your meds, and for that I commend you.

As for your friend. First and foremost, needs a naturopath or someone who can get him or her onto a good nutritional program. In addition, although I don't usually say this, sometimes the body becomes hooked on such meds so that one has to be on them, and then weaned off gradually. Prednisone is one example of something they don't stop suddenly lest one goes into adrenal failure.

But I'll tell ya what, if you don't mind I'm going to refer to this thread on another thread on the health forum here at CF to show what kind of junk the FDA approves.
 
Classik: Years ago, I suffered a short-term bout with insomnia. A lot was happening in my life at the time, and my brain just didn't want to shut down at the proper time at night for sleep. I tried all the usual remedies, without any medications; nothing worked. I was on my knees a lot in prayer. Finally, my exhausted brain had a brain flash, and I was cured, thanks to our Lord.

The remedy?

As an avid reader, I pulled a particular book on geography from the shelf & started re-reading it. A university text book, quite dry & dusty in the writing style. I fell asleep by page 6, face-down in the book! That book remains in my collection.

(I enjoy reading geography books ... but this particular one was so boring in the writing style.)
 
Thank you all for your replys. I appreciate all. (I suddenly started to regret ever knowing ### and ###'s horrible medical problem. God forgive me for that.). I think ### is becoming a little suicidal. This is my fear. Please help also pray for God's divine touch in ###'s situation.

Actually I don't remember taking any medicine. I can't remember what really happened in those days I was very young. I couldn't sleep well. I only watched others sleep and snore. I was so scared and never even mentioned it to my parents. I believed they would not take me seriously and would only say: 'You caused your problem, take a hike, fool'. They would never do such a thing. I made myself believe such nonsense.... I had to attend a church somewhere. The lady that counselled me, a good Christian encouraged me never to fear anything. She prayed for me, a prayer of agreement and asked me to go home. I left. I will never forget that day. God healed me. I slept for years.

Sorry, my bad. I was thinking of another member here that reminds me a little of you. Thank goodness you didn't take any meds! :)
