Both decisions turn out to be good calls: I don't feel as drowsy as I normally would right before falling asleep, but after about 20 minutes, I black out. I sleep all the way through the night yes! To be honest, it's a little trippy—almost like I spent the last seven hours in an alternate universe. The next night is mostly the same, but I run into trouble on night three.
I'm majorly stressed about my to-do list , and even though I take the Sleep Complex well before I want to hit the hay, I'm up for hours tossing and turning. I'm used to having one or two nights like this per month, so maybe it's just bad timing?
But nevertheless, I reach for my tried-and-true immediate release to help shut off my mind. The next night, I switch over to Natrol's time-release melatonin. Anxious about last night's lack of zzz's, I go ahead and take three 3-mg pills.
Within 20 minutes, my eyes can barely focus on the book I'm trying and failing to read. So I hit the lights early for some extra beauty rest.
Almost nine hours later, my alarm interrupts a deep, dreamless sleep. At first, I'm groggy. I nod off a few times during my morning in-bed meditation session, but once I open my eyes again, I feel a little more alert. As I crawl into bed on Natrol night two, I'm mindful to wait to take my dose until about 30 minutes before I want to pass out.
And tonight, I settle on two pills to avoid the NyQuil-esque effect of the prior evening. Less than 40 minutes later, I'm dead to the world. But just like the morning before, my wakeup hits me like a ton of bricks. The good news? Tomorrow's the weekend; no alarm for me! Flash forward to the next a. I feel recharged and ready to spend the day running around New York City.
Hesse and Wright advise me to use my first day on energy-enhancing pills to get my bearings. The ORB Mental Focus and Mood tablets contain a cocktail of focus-boosting ingredients, including caffeine, fish oil, and ashwagandha. They also contain h uperzine A and a propriety type of the brain-health nutrient citicoline made by Cognizin , both of which are " clinically studied ingredients that have a huge effect on alertness and fatigue," according to Hesse.
I knock back my first dose at 7 a. By the time I sit down at my desk for work, there's a notable uptick in my mood. I'm smizing at my computer like a total weirdo as I move through my inbox. Despite my glowing mood, though, I do notice that I'm easily distracted like, set my laptop's notifications to "do not disturb"-level distraction.
They differ from immediate release medications which release content within minutes of ingestion. Extended-release medications offer several advantages which include, but are not limited to, the following:.
Extended-release medications should be taken as prescribed. No crushing, splitting or chewing of pills or capsules should occur with the use of extended-release medications. Medication labeled for extended release can result in an overdose if crushed or chewed. Air or moisture can change the effectiveness of the formulation, so it is important to keep prescription bottles sealed and in a dry place. Altering the original form of an extended-release medication can make it less effective.
If individuals have any questions on how to properly take their medication, they should check with a pharmacist or the prescribing doctor. Source: WebMD , Drugs.
Some patients are not bothered by taking multiple tablets throughout the day and immediate release medications work well for them. Examples of immediate release medications would be Percocet and Norco. Extended release medications on the other hand are generally only taken once or twice a day. They are specially made capsules designed to provide a pre-designated amount of medication throughout the day.
This eliminates the roller-coaster type of relief and provides an improved steady foundation of relief. Many patients prefer this as they do not have to take as many pills. Not all patients require opioid medications for their pain but it is nice to know that there are a number of options available.
