I don’t know about anyone else, but I kind of miss the days when I barely slept three hours a week.
I have PTSD, and I have a lot of nightmares(and I can’t wake up from them), spending so little time sleeping would kind of mean that I would spend less time in nightmare land.
I don’t even care about hallucinations from not sleeping, I get them anyway.

Maybe this is just me, but a 7% weight increase in two weeks (despite sticking to a rigorous food and exercise routine to manage arthritis/chronic pain) seems a bit like you shouldn’t have blown off my question about these psych meds causing weight gain, doc.
