Well, things have indeed become interesting... sort of... well, not "interesting" as in entertaining, more as in weird or different. Doc put me on Seroquel to put me to sleep. The thing is, seroquel is not a sleeping medication, its a potent antipsychotic with drowsiness being its main side effect. The shitty thing is, is that it only lasts like 2-5 hours and I wake up immediately when it wears off. So I've been taking it at about 8pm so I will get tired around 9-10. I fall asleep, sleep for like 4 hours and then wake up somewhere between 1-3 in the morning. After that I feel kind of refreshed so I have to go watch some TV until I get tired again, and then maybe have time for 4 more hours of sleep if I'm lucky. The first night, the seroquel didn't even work and I only slept for an hour before I woke up again. Man, I'm shaking like a dry alcoholic. Hard to type. I wonder if it's the seroquel or just the lack of sleep and the caffiene. Oh well, I can get used to it, in fact, I kind of like it.
Last night I had a dream that I had a dream that I woke up at like noon, late for work. It was so vivid! When I woke up from that dream to wake up from that dream to wake up to my alarm I was so confused. Everything seemed like deja vu. I don't know. Slowly spinning 'round the spiral of insanity, I just don't know if I'm going up or down... or if it even matters.
