Hi doctor, Two months before, I had a grand mal seizure after drinking an energy drink. Since then, my sleep has become progressively worse. I am a nurse and worked the last three long days. However, last night I slept for one hour and I was then wide awake. I took the maximum dose of Melissa dream to assist me, but it did not work. I have also tried Valarian, but I still awoke at 3 AM. I used Melatonin for one week, which did help me sleep, but I felt like a zombie during the day and I became so severely constipated. I also feel that I am hypersalivating. I am aware of too much sensation in my lips and all of these are new since the seizure. I also had a feeling of stress in my chest for no reason after the seizure. I guess it is still there most of the time; particularly, when I cannot sleep. I have been to my GP, but I have to wait for a neurologist review. I had a CT brain, which was fine and I am going to have an MRI in two days. My fear is that this is hormonal and I am going to be left like this long term. Any of your help would be so appreciated as I feel I am losing my mind.
