buttercup_vix Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 Hey Guys,Was just wondering if this happens to anyone else.....When I take sleeping tablets, zopiclone or zolpidem, instead of calming me down and inducing sleep,they make me hyper.They seem to slow my brain down enough to mean that it doesn't quite 'work' properly but not enough to make me sleep. I take one while I'm in bed, as I know they are unlikely to work if you are still active, but after about 20mins I sit bolt upright and think of all the other things I should be doing instead.Unfortunately I often start to get horrible thoughts aswell and seem more likely to act on them, I guess because they suppress some part of my brain which thinks more than acts,if that makes sense?!I have told my doctor about this and he's prescribed me zaleplon instead. They don't always make me sleep but, equally, don't make me hyper etc. luckily.Does anybody else have any experience of this? I have Bi-Polar so don't know if it only affects me because of that?!xXx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
