It's almost 2:15am and I did it again. Yep, cumulatively I wound up ingesting 8mg of Lunesta tonight. Surprisingly, I'm not inebriated or oversedated. I must have quite the immune system...Anyway, dude, I just want to fall asleep!
OKay, I took 5mg or Adderall at 11am and then another 5mg at 4pm. That's it. Also, I had one cup of coffee in the morning. Caffeine can potentiate the effects of Adderall, which is the reason I'm careful to not drink more than one cup in the AM.
So, how will the doctor react after learning that I haven't followed the presribing directions? Will she be upset or disappointed? Will she terminate treatment due to alleged misuse or abuse of a controlled medication? I will be completely forthcoming and honest with my pdoc. Taking more than the presribed amount doesn't make me "high" or "euphoric". Higher doses helps me sleep (when it actually works) than Lunesta 2mg (which has no effect whatsoever). Do ya'll think that after informing the pdoc and therapist of my situation it would generate some cause for concern? There has been no response or recourse of action suggested by either health care professionals.
Are they uncaring? Do they think I'm a drug-seeking junkie who doesn't deserve any further help? Screw 'em. Screw the whole damn system. I will stop the negative self-talk. Here I am again like bad breath. No one wants to deal with it. So, I've returned to square-one apparently, and continue to be sick of treatment-resistant insomnia. Oh well...Like some say: Life is a bitch, and then you go mad.
Have a nice day ya'll! :-)
