Mind wakes me up anytime I enter sleep, zolpidem rebound insomnia?
I’ve been using 10 mg zolpidem everyday for a week straight for my insomnia, and it really has been helping me. I used to only use it occasionally before, but then I saw no problem with daily use when it comes to tolerance buildup.
Unfortunately I did run out of my script and had to try to sleep without it. I’ve been experiencing a pretty odd symptom that might be related to rebound insomnia due to discontinuation.
Anytime my body winds down and us and just about to enter sleep, my mind suddenly wakes me up and sort of ”reminds me” that I should be awake. There’s kind of a brief fear response sent that spikes my heart rate for a few seconds, almost like I would die if I would fall asleep?
Has this symptom ever happened to you guys? Or is it a common symptom of zolpidem discontinuation?
