Good sleep is one of the simplest things to do that has great benefits.
The nightmares, memories, visions, and darkness that happen in using drugs when trying to get some real sleep are common.
When even closing your lids leads to panic, or ‘real’ visions that you can’t shake off leading to complete exhaustion, only explains a part of the complicated process of withdrawal and exiting the lifestyle.
Good sleep in recovery does help keep us balanced and able to function. We just have to make sure it’s factored in.
Just found this on ABC Australia
‘Anti-smoking drugs linked to mental illness
Regulators are considering stronger warnings about popular anti-smoking drugs, with statistics revealing 400 psychiatric disturbances linked to the drug Zyban in recent years.
A Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) spokeswoman says the agency plans to update information given to consumers about Zyban and another drug, Champix.
Last week, US authorities last week ordered the manufacturers to place warnings inside the packets.
But public health expert professor Simon Chapman has told 702 ABC Sydney that smokers are more likely to have mental health problems to begin with.
“It may be that smoking’s something that people with mental health problems … do more than people who don’t smoke,” he said.
“So that population group is going to have a background of incidents of mental health problems and it could be that some of these reports are reports about mental health episodes that may have happened anyway.”
There is currently no warning for Champix on the TGA website.’
I’m chewing this over right now… but it’s the ‘health professional’s’ statement that’s got me thinking… however, if people will use phamaceutical grade nicotine there is also this report... which relates to Champix or Chantix in the US
I’m just surprised that they are surprised at this…..
