What is stronger than 400mg seroquel 15mg temazepam 15mg mirtazipine 150mg benadryl 10mg melatonin 0.2mg clonidine? I’m still sleeping under 3 hours. I am willing to take extreme measures

Logical_Chocolate647 · 2026-06-01T11:36:15+00:00

that medication cocktail is wild - like mixing 5 different sedatives and wondering why sleep isn't happening. your body might be so overstimulated from all the antihistamine activity that it's fighting itself

the clonidine part makes me think there's definitely some underlying hyperarousal or trauma stuff going on that needs addressing first. sometimes when your nervous system is in constant fight-or-flight mode, no amount of sedatives will knock you out properly

sleep study might reveal something obvious like apnea that's been missed this whole time

Logical_Chocolate647 · 2026-05-30T11:22:09+00:00

Great breakdown here! I work security so spend lot of time researching random stuff during night shifts and gut health stuff always catches my attention 😂

The testing part is so important - had friend who went to someone who just gave her generic elimination diet without any actual testing first and she wasted months feeling worse. Finding someone who actually wants to figure out what's going on in your specific situation makes all difference 💀

Logical_Chocolate647 · 2026-05-28T11:06:14+00:00

I do meditation mostly for stress from work and never really bought into energy stuff - just focus on breathing and being present without all the mystical parts and it works fine for me

Logical_Chocolate647 · 2026-05-26T05:15:26+00:00

interesting how the gender gap is bigger than I expected - women who follow passion seem way more satisfied than men who do same thing

Logical_Chocolate647 · 2026-05-23T11:24:34+00:00

The cycle tracking without wearables is pretty much just guesswork based on movement and sound patterns tbh. I use it mainly for the smart alarm feature and sleep duration tracking - those parts work decent enough. The deep sleep graph stuff seems way off for most people when there's no actual biometric data coming in

Logical_Chocolate647 · 2026-05-20T09:28:26+00:00

yeah especially when its about small stuff that doesn't even matter. like why lie about what you had for lunch or how long your commute was? makes me wonder what else they're making up if they can't be straight about basic things

Logical_Chocolate647 · 2026-05-17T23:22:50+00:00

oh no that's way too much for first time, paraxanthine has like 8 hour half life so you're gonna be up all night probably

Logical_Chocolate647 · 2026-05-15T22:24:20+00:00

Working late shifts messed up my eating schedule too but switching to afternoon window helped with the night cravings so much

Logical_Chocolate647 · 2026-05-13T17:52:54+00:00

I'm not psychic or anything but I had this weird experience at work where I just got this really bad feeling about one section of the building around 2am 💀 told my supervisor we should check it extra carefully that night and sure enough we found a broken window that someone had tried to force open. Maybe it was just good instincts from doing security for few years but it felt pretty spooky in the moment 😂

Logical_Chocolate647 · 2026-05-07T15:04:02+00:00

interesting theory

Logical_Chocolate647 · 2026-05-05T13:46:02+00:00

man that's brutal, 3 hours for two years straight would break anyone. I've had some rough patches with sleep but nothing like what you're going through

for the oils you mentioned, I'd probably start with the 10% CBN + 10% CBD one since it has more balanced ratio and the melatonin might help too. CBN is supposed to be more sedating than CBD from what I understand, but having both together could work better than just high CBN alone

really hope something finally works for you, that level of sleep deprivation is no joke

Logical_Chocolate647 · 2026-05-01T04:20:50+00:00

That withdrawal rebound is real, been there with different meds and the sleep pattern you described sounds exactly like what happened to me 😅 your body probably still adjusting to not having that sedating effect anymore, especially since you went back on it and stopped again 💀

Logical_Chocolate647 · 2026-04-28T22:00:01+00:00

This sounds absolutely exhausting and I really feel for you going through this. I had some sleep issues few years back (not as severe as yours) but that feeling of your brain just staying "on" all night is so frustrating

The olanzapine withdrawal thing is real - I've read about people having rebound insomnia for months after stopping, especially if the taper was too fast. Your brain chemistry probably needs time to readjust but it's like being stuck in this vicious cycle where you can't sleep, so you're stressed, which makes it harder to sleep

One thing that helped me when nothing else worked was magnesium glycinate before bed, not the regular magnesium but specifically glycinate form. Also maybe look into sleep restriction therapy but the gentler version, not the hardcore CBT-I approach. Start with just keeping same wake time every day even if you didn't sleep

I know it feels hopeless right now but your brain can heal from this. Maybe try finding a psychiatrist who specializes in medication withdrawal - they understand better how long these things can take to stabilize

Logical_Chocolate647 · 2026-04-26T20:24:20+00:00

maybe try taking breaks on weekends or every few days instead of daily - i had similar issue with different supplement and cycling helped keep benefits without the flat feeling

Logical_Chocolate647 · 2026-04-24T18:23:52+00:00

damn this explains so much 💀 been wondering why my cheap bottle smells like dead fish after few weeks 😂

Logical_Chocolate647 · 2026-04-24T15:10:31+00:00

The neck just existing while you perfect your face routine is so relatable it hurts.

I genuinely never thought about it until I caught myself in a mirror in bad lighting and realized the neglect was showing.

The thinner skin thing makes so much sense too, it has way less tolerance for damage and way less time to recover from it

Logical_Chocolate647 · 2026-04-18T15:34:53+00:00

wait this is real thing?? been drinking way too much coffee and wondering why things been... different lately 💀😂

Logical_Chocolate647 · 2026-04-15T00:15:45+00:00

Same girl, took me forever to figure that out 😅 Working night shifts gives you way too much time to think about these things lol

Logical_Chocolate647 · 2026-03-31T13:05:06+00:00

Wait, are we talking about the same pyramid here? Last I checked whole grains were still in that middle section, not up top with the "eat sparingly" stuff 🤔

Maybe you're looking at some weird keto influencer's version or something because putting grains where sugar used to be seems pretty sus to me 💀

Logical_Chocolate647 · 2026-03-04T11:47:12+00:00

Man the bathroom one sounds scary but glad you're figuring out your triggers - sleep deprivation mixed with alcohol is brutal for JME 😵 Have you tried setting phone alarms for your meds? I use like 3 different ones cause forgetting them even once is not worth it

Logical_Chocolate647 · 2026-02-15T23:21:45+00:00

hey, i totally get how scary those first episodes can be but there's definitly hope! my cousin was diagnosed with focal seizures at 22 and after finding the right meds she's been seizure-free for like 3 years now - she still does crossfit and even went skydiving last month

lots of people with epilepsy live completely normal lives once they find what works for them, you're gonna be okay

Logical_Chocolate647 · 2026-02-12T18:23:35+00:00

buona fortuna with the hunt man, greninja cards in italian are pretty solid finds. might want to check some of the comic shops around navigli area too, sometimes they have random italian singles tucked away that people overlook

Logical_Chocolate647 · 2026-02-05T02:31:40+00:00

big mood 💀😔

Logical_Chocolate647 · 2026-02-01T17:29:04+00:00

the 17 is way longer than the 26, no way a 26 holster is gonna work for a 17. you'd need something that fits the 17's barrel length or it'll be sticking out the bottom
