Weird brain stuff

[IloveTHIS]

Last night was a completely normal night. didnt get high or anything(I already know this is gonna be first assumption) and havent drank at all so it wasnt related to either of those things.

I took my sleeping meds and like 2 hours later my brain started to lock up. the best way I can describe it is imagine this electric globe toy:

This is how I visualize a normal brain. neurons firing evenly throughout. no big spikes, uniform.

it felt like as if those archs of energy activity were being pulled in, compressing into a tiny energy black hole in my brain. like condensing into a single point.

it wasnt instantaneous, I could feel it happen over the course of like 2-3 seconds. if I laid still it would happen every time, and I would have to spring up and pace around to "reset." like I had to literally shake it off.

a few times I said fuck it lets just do it and forced myself to lay still instead of reset, resulting in my body somewhat locking up and having very mild spasms. anxiety was there, but a relatively low amount compared to say alch DTs/siezures


at some point I finally passed out. I ended up way oversleeping so I was out for a while. I feel ever so slightly rough, but my brain feels fines.

Im not gonna go to the hospital but that was weird

What are those sleeping meds called scientifically ?

seroquel. technically an anti psychotic but used off label for sleep. absolutely terrible for your brain long term but Ill be surprised if I make it to 40 so not concerned about long term problems

Hang in there champ. Maybe one day you can slowly taper it off. Like -1% weekly.

This stuff put me in the ER snorting like a pig and having involuntary jaw movements. It was causing my throat muscles to restrict my breathing, which had also been causing me to make high-pitched moaning noises in my sleep.... really awkward when people hear that lol

It also would cause me to become red eyed and stumble around like a drunk after every dose and id then have to eat like 2000+ calories worth of carbs to feel normal. Gained 60-70lbs in only 6 months while i was on that stuff.

Horrible drug, and i was pissed off when i started seeing commercials for it in recent years.

I have to take sleeping pill cocktails every night, and they always include sublingual melatonin. Also, playing a boring mobile game helps a bunch.

Imo, melatonin should be a part of most sleep aid regimens since it helps and it doesnt interact with many other drugs.

Anyway, good luck with whatever you got going on there

I only took 300mg last night but Ive been prescribed as high as 800mg nightly. Im nearly anorexic(not sure what the official definition is but I eat 0 calories during the whole day and only one seroquel meal at night) so I actually enjoy the hell out of binge eating every night right before bed.

I also do most of my eating right before bed. If i dont eat before bed, i wake up about 45 minutes later confused and stumbly and eat a bunch of random carbs. Im not diabetic yet, so i just roll with it.

Be sure to tell your doctor about that weird side effect you had, and mention the eating thing too because that stuff can cause diabetes.

I was on 300mg too, but took 425mg the night i OD'd on it. I had been awake for 3 days w/ a stomach ulcer and was desperate to sleep. Now i just take OTC things

does that really cause diabetes? Im in my 30s and have been like this since.........shit probably 18. when I say I eat literally nothing during the day I mean nothing other than a slimjim every now and then. then at night theres not a regular amount I eat. most nights its under 500 calories, but sometimes I splurge and get closer to 1.5 to 2k calories but thats only maybe 2 nights a week. its almost always just like a single microwave meal and thats it.

although for the past 2 months or so Ive developed a ravenous love for icecream. destroying a pint almost every single night.

I know its not optimal, but shit Im absolutely shredded yet still not weak. I associate the beetus with fat people that have cankles

After i stopped taking it, i started seeing lawyer commercials on TV talking about it causing diabetes, and i suspect that the strange side effects i experienced on it were probably leading me in the direction. Its something to look into for sure.

Im one of the few people in my family who isnt diabetic, and ive been eating right before bed for as long as i can remember. I also eat during the day, but probably half my calories come in pretty late.

My normal "not trying" weight ordinarily floats between 175-195 while eating about 3500 calories, and I actually ballooned up to 238lbs on that stuff.

Id kill an entire box of cereal after the dose kicked in lol

Yeah a friend of mine was on that. He got off it as it wasn't agreeing with him and giving him heaps of drama. It's a while back and I can't remember what symptoms it gave him (he was trialling one after the other after buffer periods and none worked for him)

seroquel is poison, it gave a friend of mine permanent hair loss

Uh, the zombie drug might contribute to the brain shutting down. I took that shit once and slept for 16 hrs

well sounds like youre having short term problems.

"Seroquel (quetiapine) has been used at low doses to help with sleep, but studies are lacking and serious side effects can occur. Many doctors do not recommend Seroquel as a sleep aid in the general population"
