It’s 1:30 am and I’m crying because I can’t sleep.

I am at my wit’s end. It’s been almost a month and I still haven’t had a single night of sleep where I’m not waking up somewhere between 11pm and 3 am and struggling to fall back asleep I used to sleep all night before starting on this med and I really miss that (although I don’t miss the social anxiety and constant feeling of impending doom that I had when unmedicated lol).

- I feel hot and cold at the same time (get cold shivers)
- Dry mouth/more thirsty
- About 1,5 hour after taking the meds for the first time, I felt like my brain got noticeably slower and I felt tired, but it went away after a little while
- I don’t feel hungry much. Really hope th
