Sleep meds
Ok I gotta ask because I’m drowning here. I’ve tried so many meds to sleep. I have bad insomnia and finding a medication to sleep sucks and 99% aren’t working. I’ve tried the Benzodiazepines. I can get to sleep but get up to pee and I’m up the rest of the night which could be anywhere from midnight to 4am. 4am is a good night. My doctor will not put me on Ambian or the like. I’m taking Belsomra right now and it gives me weird friggen dreams or thoughts or idk what it is because I just toss and turn and feel like I’m awake. I’ve taken seroquil which works to an extent at 50mil till my body gets used to it. 100mil and I feel like utter crap. Trazadone at 200mil doesn’t work. Hydroxoxizine I haven’t taken in years.
I’m trying to lose weight so the ones that make you gain are out the door. It truly sucks because if I take Olanzipine I’ll sleep great but I gain so much weight and my GP says no can do.
Any thoughts? I’ve been up since 2am due to that friggen Belsomra and just don’t want to take it.
