Hi @BlueBay. Were you told that with any new meds, the system takes time to adjust. If it is a sleep enhancing med, try maybe staying up till you start feeling sleepy. Is there something you can do, like reading or watching t.v or listening to soft music to help relax you? You have been through an awful lot in the last 24 hours, I would say your mind is still trying to absorb everything you have endured. When you are agitated in the way you have been, the mind often refuses to 'switch off' and the more you try to force sleep, the more alert and restless you become. Perhaps 'sleep deprivation' is not a bad thing. You will sleep when your mind settles and you start relaxing. The relaxation or ability to 'switch off' becomes an emotional battle and the result is constant tossing and turning.
