sleeping constantly, ready to give up

March 30, 2011

I had such high expectations for this drug and it saddens me that for some

unknown reason, I can not tolerate it. I started this medicine 2/5/11 for

Crohn's and Fibromyalgia. For the first 2 weeks I had a constant headache and

dizziness. That is when I changed my diet to yeast and gluten free, I started a

Candida cleanse on top of my current supplements(calcium, vit D, S.Boullardi,

Ginkgo, and fish oil) and eliminated all other prescription drugs. After that

about every other day was a good one and the remaining I felt tired and dizzy.

Then the dizziness went away and the tiredness increased tenfold and hit me

daily. So I lowered my dosage to 3mg and also tried skipping a day at least once

a week. No change in the sleeping -now I sleep so well that I have slept away

the last month about 14 hrs a day. I cannot live like that. I have a 2yr old and

a 4yr old. And I already wasted last year with some unknown illness up until six

months later when they insisted on doing a hysterectomy. As a last ditch effort,

I went to the doctor and got a B12 injection on Monday. Yesterday, I had a

little more energy. But today I am back to sleeping all day. Any ideas? I cannot

go much longer. At this point work is less understanding especially after all

the time I took off last year. So my ability for trail and error is gone now.
