Hi, i have a psychotic disorder and things arent going well right now. Been to dr who said to double my medication. Now either tired or wide awake. Took week off work as im afraid of slipping up.

No sleep last night. And today I'm being really hard on myself, can't help it. Feel down. It will get better, just don't know when. 

Feel defeated.

Hi @AngelB , am sorry to hear things are pretty bad at the moment, and that you're feeling defeated. 

The lack of sleep wouldn't be helping...is this happening a lot?

Best wishes for some improvement soon...

@NatureLover afraid since ive increase my dosage of medication, sleep is almost non existent. Thanks for your kind words.

@AngelB  I'm sorry to hear that...I actually didn't know that insomnia was a side effect of medication. 

Is there any way your doctor could prescribe a sleeping tablet for a little while?
