Sleep problems Pyschosis
Hi All,I am having sleeping problems at the moment. I am taking Solian 800 mg a day which is the max amount. Before I was taking 400 mg a day. I took Arsenicium Album for some Arcenic poisoning I had that a homeopath specialist advised me to talk. Maybe I took too much of a period of time. Before I was tired during the day and now I cant really sleep without sleeping tablets. I had a psychotic trip once and my psychiatrist told me that not sleeping enough could trigger another episode that could be worse than the last, that too luch alcohol and loud music. I never really had a problem with loud music or alcohol although once comming back from a disco I had a psychotic feeling in my sleep. I woke up and went to bed again ok. I reduced my medication before when another psychiatrist thought I was ok. Now after I am having sleeping problems. I did a preliminary search and came up with Staphysagria but that stops other things happening that I dont have a problem with. But I think that Pulsatilla Nigricans could help since I get heachaches in front of a computer.
So in short I am tired during the day and cant really sleep at night without sleeping tablets. I have some other medication if the sleeping tablets dont work and I am how supposed to take tranquisers during the day and stopping them hasnt stopped me being tired. I dont want to take a homeopathic remedy and hve other problems esp with my mandatory Solian.
Any help will be appreciated.
kindest regards,

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
I think I was misunderstood in my last message. I am looking for a homeopathic remedy that wont interfere with the anti psychotic medication I am taking at the moment. I need to sleep naturally and sleeping tablets are doing so much for me. I need a cure something that would restore my ability to sleep.
kindest regards,
Godspeed.

Sleeping tablets mAY interfere with the action of a homeopathic remedy.
So what tablets are you taking?.
Sometimes it is not possible to mix homeopathy with allopathy !.

If I remember correctly I am taking Lorazapam and the doctor has given me another sleeping tablet to take it that one doesnt work. So far I sleep with the sleeping tablet for a couple of hours and then I dose for a while having dreams that is what is close to being awake. I am afraid of not sleeping and having another psychotic trip although my Solian is just having the effect of a placebo I feel. I have faith in Camomile and I drink the tea but lately it is having no effect. Am I condemned to sleepless nights and another psychotic trip. I dont thing I would be the same person again I think I would be institutionalised.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thought so , Lorazepam is a tranquilliser.
The book says that " Prolonged use of the drug should be avoided" !!.
The reason for this is that it can become addictive [like cocaine heroin etc.]
Also prolonged use can produce mental confusion.
Also on this drug you should avoid alcohol.
This is a difficult one , Would need detailed description of the psychotic episode to even look at it,
Also the job of a psychiatrist is to treat patients with PSYCHOLOGY -- NOT DRUGS.
Sorry cant be more upbeat -- perhaps someone else would have a differing opinion.

I will try and be as detailed about my psychotic trip as possible. I took a cannibas joint and went out into the night. I was feeling the effects of the cannibas as my mind was slow and I had this mental cloud. Then once outside the people I was with let off these
bangers and fireworks since it was New Years Eve. I then lapsed out of concentration and started grabbing at one of the peoples clothes saying stop to everything. Then I feel like explosions in my stomach and my heart started beating fast and I felt this crunching feeling like my stomach was exploding to every shockwave after the explosions. Then I got all paranoid. I watched someone go away and I thought he was up to something. That he knew something about me.
I calmed down and started thinking a little more straight. Then later the people I was with started letting off bangers again. I relasped and thought that someone had given me LSD cos I didnt feel like I had taken cannibas. I kept saying you know something. But before that I started coughing and I thought my lungs were going to pop out. I got this feeling of fear and anxiety this oh now depseration coming over me. I kept sayng to one of the guys what have you given me what have I taken take me to the hospital. Eventually I went to the hospital and I felt anxious and impatient I couldnt stop moving and I was inclined to run away. I rasn away from the people I was with and went to see another hospital. I was in the street and it seemed to me that the cars were doing everything that I couldnt get a taxi either too close or too far. I was really paranoid. I went to the other hospital by taxi and I thought the taxi driver was going to charge me more for not knowing the area. At this point I didnt care I stopped caring and made it to the hospital. I waited to see a doctor and he told me to wait for an ambulance as someone would pick me up and take me to a mental hospital. I had a quick profile and I was feeling better some hours after the explosions. I stayed overnight but before I was told that someone would look after me I instantly thought someone was going to rape me. But I stopped caring and let everything go.
I woke up fine the next day. But the psychosis takes a while to activate and later on in the month I had a thought disorder and was feeling paranoid like some conspiracy was against me like everyone was against me. I had this do you think question in my head that would exacerbate my anxiety. A month later after working anxiously in front of the computer at work and being strung out I had panic attacks which to me were the same as my psychotic trip in feeling cos I was still paranoid and wasnt taking any medication for my psychosis. This was all in Germany and I didnt speak the language so I couldnt really communicate after what happened to me.
I got the solution to stop the Panic Attacks and to allieviate my paranoia. In my German pyschiatrist opinion I was a paranoid schizophrenic but in Ireland they said I was had a Nervous Disorder.
What do you think ? What can I take to alleiviate anxiety and get a normal sleeping pattern that I dont feel tired during the day and cant sleep at night ? I dont feel tired during the day but I yawn alot. I need advice or I fear the worst. I feel that a psychotic episode would be like something like a nervous breakdown for me. I also feel I have seen this in the future that this will happen so I am trying to get the rememdies for this when it happens.

Well that thakes a step down a long road.
How is your short term memory.
Do you ever get feelings about things that will happen -- AND THEY ACTUALLY DO!.
Are you tidy or untidy.
Do you get hot feet in bed.
Do you eat little and often.
Do you have a droopy period about 4 in the afternoon.
What did the last 4/5 generations of your family die of?.

My short term memory is fine but I had problems before but not any longer. I do get feelings about things and they do actually happen I am kinda clairvoyant. I am sort of untidy but I like tidiness but I hate cleaning. No hot feet in bed.
I eat little and not so often my appetite has wained. I am a man so I dont get periods.
They last generations had heart related difficulties and my grandmother died of lung cancer and my granddad died of old age.

I should be more careful with words .
I meant do you have a droopy period of time about 4 in the afternoon.
Is it possible to ask your mother questions ?.
Did you as a baby --
1] sleep with your bum in the air.
2] did you have bluey tinted whites to the eyes ?.

Not much to go on!.
So heres a list of the remedies that could help. Look them up and you select the right one .
Ars Alb
Calc Carb
Hepar Sul
Nux Vomica
Pulsatilla,
Personally I think that you need a nosode such as
Tuberculinum
or
Psorinum.
Qualifications -- I have a diploma , but I tend to feel that anyone can get a piece of paper.
But I have over 30 years experience.
Best wishes .

I took Arsenic Album and thats what got me in my depressive insomniac state. I need something that will send me to a deep sleep and doesnt make me tired during the day.

In that case lets go for Psorinum 1m
One tablet at night, on three sucessive nights , before going to sleep and at least 20 min after cleaning teeth.[preferably witha non medicated tooth paste]
Wait at least 7 days to judge results and report , in case of any problems advise.
