Eva Winterschön<p>Today is a cozy blanket and Conan trilogy type of day. Woke up at 2:30, couldn't sleep till 5:45, haven't felt great all day. Most days last week were 4-6hrs/night. The often pattern, still no long term solution.</p><p>Possibly will watch Young Frankenstein afterwards, or some Studio Ghibli. It's not a Princess Bride kind of feeling sick, not a cold. Feels like neurotransmitter imbalance in the anterior frontal lobe, right at BA10 zone (throbbing, but not yet a migraine).</p><p>> The frontal lobe contains most of the dopaminergic neurons in the cerebral cortex. The dopaminergic pathways are associated with reward, attention, short-term memory tasks, planning, and motivation. </p><p>I blame an interaction between Bromocriptine (dopamine agonist, tells the brain to create more dopamine) and Prazosin - a non-selective inverse agonist of the α1-adrenergic receptors (which I take for PTSD). Timing for those two are very important, as they are not synergistic. </p><p>Sleeping off and on has been very welcome. 💖</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/movies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>movies</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/conan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>conan</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/ptsd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ptsd</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/saturday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>saturday</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/morning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>morning</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/insomnia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>insomnia</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/neurology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>neurology</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/dopamine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>dopamine</span></a></p>
