I was put on amphetamine salts 2 months ago. I have adjusted after a few days and sleep ok now. however now i have beeen put on prednisone for the next 5 days. Well i guess i took my 2nd days dose already. so almost half way done. I have been awake for about 33 hours. I cant sleep. I probably could if i didnt decide to clean my closet and find spiders. Although i am not usually up this long, i do have trouble sleeping and always need to fight it. However i worked alot around the house today cleaning. i have class at noon tomorrow and im afraid i will stay up til then. Will that be ok for me to do? After i lose too much sleep i kinda lose touch with reality and may have trouble driving. my school is only about 1-2 miles away and no highways or nothing too busy but still dont wanna wreck. Any advise?

sleep absence is bad.Hard to ans without knowing what meds are for. Those can be bad.Keep in contact with Dr on all side effects & don't quit them without tapering off.Ask if herbal remedies will be better for you.Many work much better for things those meds are used for with no side effects.beware of sleeping meds as some has dangerous side effects. ask your dr if valerian root is safe with those meds. it has a great calming effect & helps go to sleep.I found Alternative meds are better and safer.Suggest considering that route.Newsmax medical has info on much by good doctors(Newsmax.Com/medical) YaHoo & Google has good research on them as well.
