I am so exhausted

[donna14]

I don't know what is going on with me.  My meds have not changed and I usually don't have too much trouble with them but I am absolutely exhausted all the time.  I could easily sleep 18 hours a day or more.  When I do sleep I wake up about every hour.  Last night I kept waking up in a panic thinking I was late for work.  (I had to be at work at 6am)  By the time I did get up I felt like I had been out partying all night.  I actually went to bed at 10 pm.  This goes on everyday.  When I get off work I go straight home and go to sleep if possible.  Some days I have the children to deal with, but if it is just me I am asleep in record time. 
Somewhere in my brain I know that there is something wrong and I will call pdoc tomorrow since the holidays are finally over.  I know that you all have experienced the same thing so I don't expect some wonderful resolution to the problem.  I know I just need to talk to my pdoc.  I guess I am just blasting off.  Sometimes I just need to talk.  I can't do that around here.  Within 2.5 seconds I start hearing how I need to just get over it.  Today I heard "Everyone is tired, you just keep going and don't complain".  OK...well that helped.  Note to self.  Just shut up.
Thanks for listening (reading).  At least I know someone is paying attention.

Let us know what the pdoc says... I'm currently experiencing the same thing myself. I don't see my pdoc til Feb. I keep telling myself to keep chugging along... Even the sleeping pills aren't working. I h ave a sneaking suspicion that when I go back me Seroquel is going to be increased.

I understand about constantly waking up. I am currently not working, but if I have an early appointment, I wake up like every half hour thinking that it is time to go. I definately do not get a good nights rest. Maybe because it is in the back of my mind that I actually have to get up early that keeps waking me up, I don't know, but I hate it!
