Tired. So tired.

Uggg. I haven't slept well in weeks, and as a result I'm kind of wandering through a fog. I think the Wellbutrin I'm on to quit smoking is part of the problem, but it may be more than that. I have an appointment with my sleep doc in a few weeks. Let's hope it works out.

Sunday night I slept for about 5 hours.

Monday night I slept for about 4 hours.

Tuesday night I went to the Tabernacle to see Tom Waits. Now that was a kickass show. I got home, took my sleeping pill... and was awake until 6am.

I'm really hoping this gets worked out if not, I'm going to be borderline retarded in a week or so.

Actually, the last time I managed to quit long-term was for six months and it was due to the wellbutrin. I fell off the wagon the day Brian Dalton died.

It's starting to work. On days where I don't go out, I'm down to about 5 a day.

Hang in there. I managed to quit smoking thanks to Wellbutrin, took me several months but I haven't had a cigarette in a while. It also caused a good deal of insomnia for me too. And you know me, I am a chronic insomniac anyway, so it just made it worse. I remember Aug-Sept. 2001, I was sleeping about an hour a night, tops. It was terrible. And when I did sleep, I had screaming nightmares. It goes away. Your doc might give you Ambien or something to help you sleep. You can mail that to me if you like.

I've been on Ambien for over a year now. Ambien's kung fu is weak compared to my normal insomnia plus wellbutrin. I have an appointment with sleep doc this month to see if I can get something stronger.

You can mail any barbituates to me, as well. They go great with wine! BUt not as well as Ambien and sake. I did that once by accident, and ended up waking up 9 hours later in exactly the same position, still holding my glass. My my my!
