Lost my ability to sleep and other serious issues
Hi everyone,
Here’s my story in hopes that someone can help me.
Prior to Nov 25 I was taking Lions Manes mushroom and on the 25th I smoked marijuana which gave me a panic attack. Now I believe I developed Central Sensitization syndrome (due to lions mane increasing NGF which can lead to CSS under the right circumstances) due to this because that night of the panic attack I was wide awake and up all night. Now it’s like my body and mind won’t shut off. There’s too much activity in my nervous system.
Since that night I haven’t been able to sleep more than 1-2 hours per night even with a benzo. The past week I haven’t slept at all. I’ve been to the hospital and they couldn’t help me. It’s like my brain won’t shut off and there’s too much activity in it. It physically feels like I’m drinking coffee hourly which I’m not. This has all been happening for over 2 months after supplementing with Lions Mane and then having marijuana.
I’m not sure if the Lions Mane mushroom daily for 2 weeks then taking marijuana that one day had an adverse reaction with each other or not, but ever since the morning after I haven’t been the same sleep wise among other issues. The other issues I’ve been experiencing are internal vibrations for the past month, twitches in my neck, legs, and hands, diahrrea every day, sore legs, and disorientation. The internal vibrations worry me that I may have a neurological disorder. I have an appointment with a neurologist in two weeks. The main issue is I’m not sleeping at all, it’s like I’ve lost that ability.
I feel somehow the Lions Mane and marijuana could had given me brain damage because after Nov 25 I haven’t been the same person. I don’t know how or if this is true but my life has been turned upside with all my symptoms.
Does anyone know whether I might have a serious issue or how I can further look into why it appears I’ve lost my ability to sleep?

Hello, Hello123yes
I just read your post from 2 years back....hopefully your sorted now? Upon reading your shared information, my feeling is that the combination of factors allowed the circumstances to switch on within the body technology whereby the Kundalini Energy was over-activated. This can create all the situation you shared about and would not be easily if at all fixable by the normal western allopathic health system. Time may fix the issue or may already have?.....since you stopped the generating factor.
If not, it's recommended to try and see a genuine fully Enlightened person and ask for guidance. Although she's not the only one, there's one fully Enlightened Teacher named Maharishikaa Preeti - you can find her on youtube etc.
If you still have the issue and feel it's increasing unexpectedly sometimes....the high energy of the current solar cycle with it's solar flares would quite likely agitate such a situation - more reason to look for help in the appropriate place and personage.
Best Wishes,
Andy
@hello123yes, I experienced something similar 4 1/2 years ago. Are you open to discussing this further? Did you find any help?
Hello @andy108 and @shayshay039, Welcome to Connect. Unfortunately I don't think @hello123yes is still following Connect since the last time the member posted was in March 2022. The good news is that there are still active members in this discussion like @cdesharn, @cindisue, @kawanhee and others who may be able to share their thoughts or information with you.
Hello123yes. I had something similar happen to me back in 2010. I had been taking a generic Benadryl ingredient sleep aid pill, and one night after a stressful day.... I took more than the dosage instructions and then went to work in the morning and drank alot of coffee. I had taken 2 of the sleep aid sleep pill at bedtime and then 2 more towards morning because I wanted to get some sleep! (I planned on sleeping in late) Well, it didn't put me to sleep so I believe when I went to work at 7am, and drank coffee, it had a BAD effect on my body! I had a 24 hour panic attack.....it was awful. Went to ER the next morning and they gave me a Lorazepam... all my vitals were fine. But went home and within an hour I was relaxed and sleeping. I had sleep issues after that worse than before and started taking Flurazepam. Which worked great! Wasnt taking it daily, only 2 times a week. Then it got discontinued and I started taking Lorazepam. Along with Amitriptyline. Works good for anxiety/panic disorder and sleep. I really really hope that you are feeling better and have gotten some relief/answers/medications to help you now. It makes me mad that you went to the hospital and they said they couldn't help you! BS!! They could have done something for you! At the least, they could have given you something that would have made you have a good sleep. And should have prescribed you an anti-anxiety medication. Again, I hope you are doing better now.
Hello shayshay039, I am interested in what your story is, and what answers/solutions you may have gotten. And how are you doing now? Do you take any meds for anxiety and/or sleep?
