I Went Overstimulated With Caffeine Today And Just Countering It With Gabapentin To Relax Myself Down

cryptopie (81)in #dialysis • 5 years ago

I can't sleep, I tried but I can't even though I had took my Gabapentin to help me relax and supposedly to defeat the residual effects of caffeine that I took at dialysis this early morning. I do not know what happened but I feel the mix of stimulation and relaxation at the same time, it is a weird feeling and basically I am intoxicated right now.

Nothing that I could do now but to wait it out and let my system process the Caffeine so that I can finally rest and sleep because I just am already up yesterday night from a short sleep and after that I could not sleep anymore.

This is just the compromise that I have to take because I wanted to complete my dialysis so I just have to find a way to support my blood pressure so that it would not crash and affect my dialysis just like in the past. I am getting a good dialysis because of this thing that I had done, I am getting adequately removed with extra body fluids or water to the point that my skin would get wrinkled an my voice a bit hoarse, a sign that I am already dried-up and that is what I wanted so that I could have a lot of allowance with the liquids that I am going to consume plus I would not get so breathless so fast.

Gabapentin Makes Me To Get Relaxed But Not Enough To Make Me Sleep Today

Anyway with the residual effects of coffee in my body now I just can feel that my heartbeat is fast but I am not getting palpitations which is good. I think that the factor for the caffeine didn't get washed-off completely was that I ate a lot today at dialysis so it got mixed with the food and along with the absorption of the nutrients from the food the Caffeine had a delay in getting absorbed too.

But this was not the case like before so I just have to endure it until the effects had subsided. This will be a long night of waiting though and I pray that I can get some shuteye this evening or the very least at late dawn.

You are an inspiration to me Pie man. I was having a tricky morning. Reading your posts always give me the kick in the bum I need to get up and quit the pity party.

It must be so hard to balance everything around dialysis, the sodium / potassium exchange alone would have me obsessed around intake. You.
As for gabapentin, I'm glad you found something that helps. I recently tried anticonvulsants (again) for nerve pain, I became more sedated each day, until I couldn't function. Which was a shame, it was definitely effective on pain. Coffee!... I can have multiple a day (sometimes before bed for headache).

Hi @girlbeforemirror I couldn't do much in my prodigal and uninteresting life but this blogging thing I was doing for more than two years now. I am happy that I am also able to rid some of my body pain but with some compromise of big expenses and the fact tat I have to endure the appetiteloss that my Parathyroid medicine is giving me. I do not know why I am able to endure it but I am enduring it nonetheless. I am also glad that I am able to earn bit from this social blogging work too.

I hope that you are fairing well in your own life. Gabapentin helps me feel relaxed, it is not a classified a dangerous drug though but one must not abruptly take it off cold turkey. But I am just taking 200mg twice a week only, it is just enough for me body to feel better with regards to my sleep an relaxation.
My Caffeine intake is just for my blood pressure to stabilize at dialysis because of my problem of crashing blood pressure.

Best regards to you :D
Keep on fighting.
