-The last month of December 2018, I weaned off of all my medications,​ peacefully with no problems. During that time, my anxiety slowly increased into anger because of family and buying a truck. A few days before Feb, I was starting to miss sleep and asked more about my Lexipro refills. About Feb 2, Camarena Oakhurst let me know I now have a doctor Rex who refilled my Lexipro prescription. \\ +The last month of December 2018, I weaned off of all my medications,​ peacefully with no problems.

-I follow all AASM Certified sleep hygiene rules: Dark cool room, no bright light 3 hours before sleep, no caffeine/​fluids/​alcohol or large meals before bed. Get out of bed if no sleep for 20min (For me 1hr). Window open 1cm for permanent oxygen flow. I eat 1 cup oatmeal at 7am, no junk food, and run 0.5 miles to wake my muscles. I step my pills, I don't take them at the same time, and I take my fiber pill far apart so it doesn'​t wash away my Lexipro. \\+I follow all AASM Certified sleep hygiene rules: Dark cool room, no bright light 3 hours before sleep, no caffeine/​fluids/​alcohol or large meals before bed.

-I feel like a insanely-awake zombie in the mornings, hot shivers and unstable steps. Noon I usually feel fairly healthy but unstable and weak. I feel angry at night due to boredom and frustration and mild restless legs tickling my body. \\+I feel like a insanely-awake zombie in the mornings, hot shivers and unstable steps.

-I need... I would like a overnight oxygen meter on my wrist, to determine if I get enough oxygen at night and day. I would like a Sleep Center Study to certify what kind of sleep apnia or insomnia I have. Is it apnia or insomnia. Muscle twitches, shallow breath, REM timing. Do I need to try 1 teaspoon CBD oil before bed. \\+I need… I would like a overnight oxygen meter on my wrist, to determine if I get enough oxygen at night and day.

-* **Feb 22, 2019** after 8:45am appointment with Dr Chico at Coarsegold CA Camarena Health Clinic. No sleep last night. Night felt 5 days long, my sense of time was wrong. My body muscles have been twitching more. Fast dark flickers in my eyesight. Body temperpature ​changes cause terror that takes awhile to subside, and if it doesn'​t subside then I have temporary loss of motor control and shivers. At night I force myself to breathe as the muscle/​motor control fluctuates. Doctor Patricia D Chico MD quickly doubled my sleeping dose of Trezodone from minimal to 100mg. She gave me a neurology test of reflexes, walking, eyesight, motor control, motor strength/​speed/​reflex/​duration,​ and I failed the test because my body twitches and has intermittent motor control along with intermittent strength from high to none. I don't know if my blood has any infections, or if I have a tumor. Doctor nurse said my daytime blood-oxygen is fine. Doctor said my issue may have been related to stress or medications at first, but appears to be a brain issue at the moment and not related to any medication. She says a sleep specialist and overnight Sleep Study would not apply because I'm unable to sleep at all, so first a neurologist will contact me to document my progress and possibly scan my brain for damage or unique behavior or shape. A friend at my local mail center recommended I try CBD-Seed-Oil (liquid weed) but I'm deciding if that could have any bad effects. Two friends at the mail center (Tes Adams and Jen O' Yates) heavily recommended the brain doctor Dr Horvat (209) 966-0850 in Maraposa because he takes Calviva Medi-Cal insurance and has saved many people from tumors. Next Chico appointment next week 3-1-19 at 9:30am. I await the neurologist to call to confirm Camarena'​s referral department has determined a appointment date (likely in Madera).\\+* **Feb 22, 2019** after 8:45am appointment with Dr Chico at Coarsegold CA Camarena Health Clinic.

 +Feb 25- AM I felt really good and almost healthy, but still tense muscles. In the AM I requested Lunesta over the phone, so doctor will look it over today. I made a large chart of what meds work with Lexipro and what don't. Tomorrow I may dry CBD Full-Spectrum oil. \\
