I’ve been taking 10mg zolpidem nightly for over a year. Tried to taper a bunch of times but never slept, this time I’ve ran out of pills for real and can’t get any. I tried to saver the last bits and take less and less the last couple days but I’m on day 3 of 0 sleep (like not even a minute). I’m not sleepy at all, I feel weird, tight chested and have a migraine but not sleepy. I genuinely don’t know when I’m gonna sleep as I havnt slept naturally in so long and even on meds would not feel the sleep I had (like an anaesthetic type sleep).
At the start of my insomnia I went like 6/7 full days without sleep which was the worst thing I’ve experienced but I also had a lot of physical anxiety which I don’t seem to have now since it’s been a long time.
Do I just keep going no sleep mode until I finally do ? I’m already so sleep deprived from the year and 2 years of light micro sleeps so I genuinely have no idea what the next few days are gonna bring 😭
