AUGUST 26, 2008
Here I sit at 2:19AM on the living room couch. I can't sleep...what's new? This thyroid thing is about to drive me crazy (my little Beckett boy is also going to drive me crazy) Between thyroiditis and my anxiety and bounding pulse at night, and Beckett waking up every few hours through the night and then with the rooster at the crack of dawn, its no wonder I don't sleep well. Oh yeah and the Zoloft is adding to the insomnia. Can a girl get a break?
I am trying to wean off of the Ativan and was doing well for a few days. Now sleeping is getting harder and I jsut took another one about 30 minutes ago to really knock me out!
I am thankful for my health. Things could be so much worse. I know this is growing my faith and making me stronger, but I am ready for it to be over. The nights are hard and I almost dread them because I know what they hold...sleeplessness...
So, please pray for us that Beckett will start sleeping at night---I know God can do it overnight! We are also believing him for complete healing of my body soon.
Ok...I will try to get some sleep now. I am watching the DNC LIVE---can't believe normal people are actually still up on the East Coast!!! THey are still waiting for Biden to speak!
Love to you all!

My name is Craig Hannah and i would like to show you my personal experience with Ativan.

I have taken for 6 years. I am 37 years old. GREAT FOR INSOMNIA......Great for Manic stages of Bi-Polar..It's really is the only drug I can take without any side effects..I cannot even take asprin without feeling it..I have OCD and have severe sensitivity to meds, this one is great.

Side Effects :
None.....Miracle drug...onset of 20/30 minutes, peak of 1 to 3 hrs...it will erase your memory if u take it in large doses...made that mistake once..Been on and off of it since 2001. I don't get addictive to it. I only take .05 2 x a day for controlling High Blood Pressure, Anxiety and IBS..I sometimes can get away with breaking the 0.5mg down into 4 equal doses.

I hope this information will be useful to others,
Craig Hannah
