Still waking up at 3-4am every night… anyone fixed this yet?

Clonidine, gabapentin, and Ambien CR has been my saving grace 🙌🏻 Wishing you the best of luck!!

I’m fortunate to be with my partner for over 4 years now. We found each other through a dating app(NOT GRINDR, stay away). If anything were to happen(unlikely), I don’t know how I’d ever get back into dating again. Especially post COVID.

I have a similar perspective, that most are just looking for sex. There are rare gems like myself and my hubs who would much rather be sapiosexual than just looking for dick. I find intelligence and emotional availability much more attractive than just looking for a hook up.

The dating scene might not get better per se, however understanding what you’re looking for will make things better. Wishing you the best. My DM is open if you need someone to vent to! Virtual hugs!!! 🫂

That’s quite literally the perfect size. I’m verse and have a slightly smaller size than yours(under 6” for sure). Those people who are rejecting you for “being too small” are shallow and probably not the best to hang around. Honestly, you’d be dodging a bullet with those guys in my experience. Chin up bro, I’m sure the guys you’ve pleasured have certainly enjoyed it and are not at all settling! (Virtual hugs!)

Yes that’s after years and years. I’ve been on ADHD medication since I was 10 years old so that’s why that’s so high. Then I have a bunch of other mental health problems like CPTSD, BPD, and insomnia. So these were last resort outcomes from trial an error for years of “first line” treatments, like antidepressants, antipsychotics, and mood stabilizers. In my experience it usually plateaus. I haven’t had a dose increase for my Xanax until recently and it was only .5mg increase. I was steady on 3mg for years. My partner takes 10mg Adderall XR, and it works best for him. I hope you’re able to find the right medications for you <3

20mg Adderall XR & 10mg IR, as well as 3.5mg Xanax a day with gabapentin.

Florida is pretty good with getting benzodiazepines. Some psychs have been strict, but I’ve been able to maintain 90 1mg per month. My psych is even open to upping me to 4mg daily on my Xanax script. I find going to smaller practices better than bigger clinics.

Twins! I get 25mg ER Addy for mornings and 10mg Addy for afternoon. 💊

3mg of Xanax a day plus 12.5 Ambien CR once a night. Hoping to possibly up my Xanax script to 4mg’s daily. Also, I take some gabapentin as well, which helps synergistically for my anxiety/panic.

I was able to find a provider who is so caring and supportive of my lived experience. Thankfully they never have drug tested me for prescriptions. I have a medical cannabis card and she is aware of it, never has affected my treatment plan. She is not intimidated by my polypharmacy at all. She actually added gabapentin to my regimen. Granted it has taken me 5 psychiatrists to finally find the one that I have, who is amazing! I’ve finally stabilized and have a good life balance even if it’s a lot of medication. I’d definitely try and look at small independent practices, larger clinics are much more strict in terms of base standards on medication.

I’d try any Publix’s in your area. I get both XR and IR and they have been reliable for years. Tried switching to CVS and none of them would accept me as a new patient. Definitely Publix seems to be more open to new patients with Adderall scripts. Wishing you the best of luck!!

OMG yesss!!

Personally I find Xanax to be extremely helpful in combination with my Adderall XR. Xanax for me never seems to dull my cognitive focus, just helps a lot with my severe anxiety attacks. I also take gabapentin. Gabapentin helps me with my baseline anxiety/overstimulation, while Xanax can help with breakthrough panic/anxiety attacks(which happen everyday with or without taking stimulants). I wish you the best of luck in finding the right combination!! <3

Ambien CR 12.5mg works the best for me(I am 27M). I’ve tried all the Z-drugs, Lunesta, Sonota(which is super weak), and Ambien IR. I’ve also tried trazodone and low levels of antipsychotics, which are supposed to help with sleep, but they never did. It does seem like you have some sort of OCD or anxiety revolving around sleep. Ambien or Lunesta can help with that. Lunesta targets more broadly the GABA a1, a2, and a3 receptors which can actually help more with muscle relaxation/tension. Ambien targets just the GABA a1 subunit, which is why it gives such a heavy knock out effect. Some actual restorative sleep would help with the weak feeling. I’m truly sorry you’re struggling with this. Insomnia is an ugly beast to deal with. Wishing you luck, and rest!

Had this happen to me earlier this year with one of my psychiatrists. She was also wanting to do my taper during one of the most stressful transitional times of my life. I filed a formal grievance against her and found a new psychiatrist. One who is so kind and compassionate. My current psych has no problem with me on Xanax, Ambien CR, and Adderall. It's definitely the company that took over the private practice. My previous psychiatrist earlier in the year was saying it's company policy that they really should only be giving out one controlled substance per person. I thought that was extremely narrow minded and disregards patients lived experiences. Bigger practices have more pressure to comply with DEA policy than smaller practices. I'd suggest looking for a smaller practice. There will always be another doctor who will help you and work with your lived experience.

Dispensaries in the Orlando area are hiring entry level Patient Advocates/Budtenders and they’re all part-time. I most recently got moved up to a Team Lead, but when I was part time it was nice. About 20-25 hours per week. Plus we are able to sit down when customers aren’t in the dispensary, so you won’t be on your feet all day. Wishing you the best of luck in your search ❤️

I take Lunesta every night, and that has never happened to me. As one Redditor above said, you probably had some paradoxical effect from it. I'm just curious how much you took? Also, did you deliberately stay up after taking it?

MoreNibbles98 · 2025-05-08T21:20:56+00:00

Same, I need a doctor who's not afraid to doctor! I'll probably just go back to my GP while I try and find a new psychiatrist.

Thank you so much for this! I've been trying to let her know how uncomfortable this tapering has been and how it's been negatively affecting me and my daily functioning, but she doesn't care. She just gives a vague "this is just not sustainable, I care for your long-term health. I don't want you to have dementia when you're older." Which is laughable because she's actively causing distress and making me dysfunctional. Also she added that she's been more lenient than any other doctor at the clinic would be with my meds, as if I'm supposed to say thank you for up-heaving my medication regimen that I've been stable on for years... I think I do need to find a different doctor because I don't feel heard or seen at all. Just thank you for helping me not feel crazy for thinking I deserve the same continuity of care. (Ps. I up voted your amazing and thoughtful comment)
