It's a shame you can't talk to anyone at the surgery @Ada;I know they're all overworked and underfunded but they do sound a bit useless.

@Ada Sorry to ask, but I'm sure you said the reasons why but my mind is a goldfish. What was the reason you were meant to come off them? was it to try a different medication or just the fact your body was just used to them. As if they help you and make things easier for you I don't see why the need to try and stop them. Sleep is a massive importance to mental health. One of my biggest signs my mental health is getting bad again is I start lacking in sleep, like when I'm bad I end up going bed at like 5am and waking up again at 8am so I know how bad it is.
Theres also a study once that said some people don't need as much sleep as some people and many function normally on a 3 hour sleep pattern. Some of the biggest CEO's thrive on a 3/4 hour sleep. But I couldn't imagine only functioning on a 3 hour sleep myself and having great mental health. Really hoping you manage to get a really decent nights rest again.

I keep making an excuse to stand out in the sun now and then so taking it on today to only vape outside, I'm allowed to vape in my flat (not allowed to smoke) but the weather is too nice to miss today so keep having smoke breaks haha

@Ada
I really don’t think they’d put them straight back up to 100mg after slowly coming off them. You could ask if they’d start increasing them again but I think it will be done slowly.
Hope they get back to you soon it’s just a pity as you’ve put in a lot off hard work reducing but I can only imagine how your feeling
Off course I’m no doctor but I really think that’s the way they’d do it I really hope they don’t refuse to do it.@Ainger13

Coming off sleeping pills that you've been on for years will really take its toll on you @Ada I remember coming off painkillers long term and it wasn't fun, but it was worth it eventually. The problem with most of them is the longer you're on them, the less effect they have on you, especially things like Amyltriptaline, which is often used as a combo painkiller/sleep aid/antidepressant. Can you keep pestering the surgery to speak to a GP? It's horrible that they're not taking things very seriously.
Not medical advice of course, just be careful with em please. 😊

She's here! Chosen her chair already, she's barked at me a couple of times but seems pretty settled.
The meeting went well and M is moving in next Saturday

Hi I hope your having a nice day. I’m sure it wasn’t Ada’s doctor that said she was weak it was herself thst sd it I might be wrong 🙄 that would’ve been awful if a doctor sd that, as she certainly isn’t weak with what she puts up with.❤️

Lack of sleep is really not nice, so wishing you all the best and really hope you manage to have a really good nights rest again.

Thanks @Marydoll5 for the kind words 😊
@Ainger13 welcome!!
@Ada sorry to hear about your troubles, it's really sad when the health services won't do their job, I mean when the council refuse to cut the grass it's just annoying but when health professionals can't be bothered to do something in exchange for the money they are paid, peoples lives are at stake, it's a bit more than just annoying. I know me moaning doesn't change anything but just saying you have my sympathy 😐️
