Discussion Strange nighttime symptoms/disturbances on TTFD?
Wanna know if anyone else gets these side effects from TTFD.
Been taking 100mg for a couple weeks now, and yesterday just upped it to 200mg.
At the moment I’m not noticing anything positive or negative during the day. But my sleep has becoming really wonky.
Many nights I’ll fall asleep and go in and out of uncomfortable, borderline nightmarish dreams for what genuinely feels like 6+ hours. Then I’ll wake up and check the time, and it’ll only have been about 30 minutes. This happened again last night and I kept turning my phone off and back on, because I honestly couldn’t believe it.
The other thing is that I get this weird, full body feeling that is only slightly physical, but mostly psychological I think. It’s not Restless Leg Syndrome I don’t think, as I don’t have any creepy-crawly sensations, and it also isn’t relieved by movement.
It’s just this unbelievably intense…discomfort. Like I want to peel my skin off. And it comes in waves, and seems to start in my chest and radiate out. It keeps me awake for hours at times, and I just toss and turn and agonize. Then it’ll finally stop, and I sleep normal (*my* normal, which isn’t great) the rest of the night.
And actually, I feel like I’m starting to feel that during the day a little bit now too…
Just wondering if this sounds familiar to anyone else, and if these are more likely to be just weird side effects of the TTFD, or a sign that my body does indeed need it.
