AlexRussia: polydrugged in Russia

[AlexRussia]

Update. without excessive physical activity (my main trigger)  was able to sleep 5-7 hours per night for the last week.   Problem is multiple awakenings during night with extremely vivid nightmares and absolutely nonrestful sleep. Other symptoms - constantly  burning hands and feet and emotions intolerance (excessive emotions, good or bad cause shivering, extreme body burning even OCD like behaviour). That's all.

Hi Alex,

 

well that’s a step forward! Even if your sleep feels non-restful, you’re much better off than you were.

 

warmest wishes,

Sleeping less - less nightmares. Now I intentionally wake up at 4:00 am .  1-2 awakening , 5-6 hours of sleep.

Please dont laugh at me. But i think i am addicted to cheese)) It consists big amoint of opioids and tryptophan  and i eat around 500g a day. Now i understatd why it helps me sleep alot and eases my neck pain. No cheese from today.  Ok, now i am serious. Thanks everybody for help. Be strong , healing will come eventually. Your forum is the best. I hope someday becouse of your work antidepressants , benzos and other **** will be recognized and banned  as unsave addictive drugs.  Stop posting from now.  Will post only if i mostly 

healed ot stuck in bad wave.

Every time I close to healing something happens. Now I am really scared. No sleep tonight,but no triggers, nothing. No sleep at all for no obvious reason. Neverending nightmare.

Privet Alex. Is cheese the only thing that helps you sleep? What type of cheese? Tvorog?

I've been craving pickled tomatoes a lot, and rotisserie chicken. You know, Russian-style marinovaniye pomidori.

Privet. How are you doing? Belarus made cheese Eltermani helps sleep becouse of trypyophan, Almost Every cheese have high amount of  tryptophan in it. . Didn't know that in some coutries  tvorog considered as a type of cheese.. Always thought of it as a separate product. I had been craving pechenie (cookies) and fruits and had been eating it for three days it until stopped sleeping. Of course I know "маринованные помидоры" ))) Do ou have adverse reaction on pickled tomatoes or cant find it in your country? Its possible to have adverse reaction, because they are high of glutamate and every night shades have substances in it that disrupt sleep.  I managed to sleep few hours after last post. I think sugar is a very big no-no in withdrawal, I knew it but couldnot resist the smell of Russian homemade cookies)).  Do you have sugar intolerance?

Privet Alex. I was looking for a new avatar and saw this cute one, which you'll understand:

 

I'm in a funk. How about you?

Haven't heard of Eltermani chees before. What kind of cookies and fruits were you craving? Cookies and fruits is a favorite subject of mine.

No adverse reaction to pickled tomatoes. There's a Russian store nearby that carries them. But yes, I heard of issues some people have with nightshades.

I don't know if I have sugar intolerance. I don't think so. But it sounds like sugar makes it hard for you to sleep? Even fructose?

Privet . I just woke up in a funk this morning.  Eat several cookies yesterday )) and paid the price of no sleep.  About your avatar, its fine but I don't like russian words In it because its international forum and I would use english so everyone could understand. But its only my opinion. I am craving for oatmeal cookies and you yogurt cakes. Havent tried fructose yet. I used to take phenazepam  , its many times stronger than valium or othr benso, so I think my sugar intolerance related to benzo withdrawal and maybe u don't have it. But I am 100% sure that too much  sugar is bad for gut health.

How are you holding up Alex? 

 

I was on 300mg dose of seroquel 10 years ago. I tapered to zero over time. I remember that my sleep was very bad for months afterwards.

 

I also was confused a lot of the time, memory problems, exhausted, very irritated all the time. Sometimes I felt that I had really lost my sanity.

 

Finally it passed and during 2012 I had some of the best time in my life.

 

I hope your sleep gets better. With extreme insomnia it's very hard to work, not to mention dating or even going out with friends. 

 

I wish you luck, don't give up.
