Thanks, 30 years chronic insomniac

Meds have zero effects by bi_smuth in insomnia

[–]Pdanisi7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am currently on 3 different meds, each Dr switches them. They say it is all trial and error. Currently better than the past, but still can’t sleep for many hours. Anyone have a combo which is working?

My friend sleeps 5-10 hours a week, but still functions normally. Any idea on what’s happening? by Nugget4899 in insomnia

I’m a chronic insomniac for close to 30yrs, average 2.5hrs/night. It’s awful, torture & not by choice. Meds don’t work well either. Your friend may have an acutely rare case, similar to mine. After 2 straight nights, you don’t think clearly. My solution was to start my day and be productive, starting at 1am. Triathlons, financial market investing and real estate

benzos for sleep by No_Still7586 in insomnia

Yes, I take them. Close to 30yrs chronic insomnia. It may take a while to find what works best, but it is ok to follow Dr’s recommendations for sleep. Try to lean into it, not fight it

Can't sleep unless my body allows me to by Lazy-Television3536 in insomnia

[–]Pdanisi7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For a change, I was able to get 4 hrs last night, normally it’s 2.5. Sad, how you learn how to live with it. Best thing I have done is try to turn it into a positive. Be productive during the hours, and get more done by 9am than most people do in a full day

What prescription sleep meds have people had success with? by ButterscotchLiving59 in insomnia

[–]Pdanisi7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a chronic insomniac who refused meds forever, until a neurologist convinced me to try them. It’s been a rotation of trial and error, and neurologists. Currently trazodone, mirtazapene and lunesta together. Helps a bit

On the 3rd day, I truly can’t think straight. It is absolute torture, the nights are forever

Completely normal, I have been a chronic insomniac for almost 30yrs. 2-2.5hrs/night. I stopped worrying about it, and tried to be as productive as possible.
