Weird nighttime sensation

For the last week I have had a weird sensation in my body when trying to fall asleep. I used to be able to sleep fine, now that I've started antibiotics this odd thing has happened. I am tired I go to bed, almost fall asleep them wake up with surges of energy. If you have ever had restless leg syndrome, it feels like that except throughout my whole body. I have to keep moving around it feels like energy currents going through my body.

So weird, anyone experience something like this? I don't want to take ativan or sleeping pills, can anyone recommend something safe to take? Also I do take my evening dose of antibiotics close to my bed time, maybe that is what is doing it.

Thanks..

I would do the antibiotics earlier if you can. I am sensitive to them and they did a lot of weird things to me. But there are some with lyme that get strange symptoms when they lie down. I had like a buzzing feeling. Like I had a cell phone on vibrate. It migrated from shoulder to stomach to calves. Weird and annoying. When it was really bad I did Kava tea before bed. Then I worried about the Kava on my liver so I started doing Bedtime Tea and Sleepytime tea.

Yep I felt the same zap full body buzz feeling before as well. But this is back before I detoxed. Since detoxing the surge of adrenaline when falling into a sleep is either non-existent or minimal where I eventually still fall asleep.

Breathing deeply in and out (breathing exercises) help keep it at bay as well but only if you are detoxing adequately. But if you are not detoxing then you are not going to sleep at night. I learned the hard way but then started detoxing daily.

Evian,

I understand what you mean by the reflexes.

One time someone playfully nudged me on the back and my reflexes flung into high gear and I was startled. And something like that would have never made me jump before.

Yes, I get this. It's really annoying.

I take melatonin every night. It's harmless and actually a good antioxidant for the brain.
