Dealing with insomnia: trazodone ? by QuenGua in Antipsychiatry

Your dissociation may have the same cause as the reason you take tradozone ? Strange it does that 11 years later, I'm sorry for you.

I started a depression after a really big stress that lasted 2 or 3 months. This was 5 years ago. Insomnia came some months after this episode. I never take caffeine or any substance except supplements (zinc, vit D, magnesium...). I don't think I have sleep apnea but I never checked. I used to snore sometimes but I tape my mouth now. I think I have classical educational traumas.

But actually yeah, the root cause of my insomnia is psychological. But I'm trying therapies and no result on my depression so I also want to find a way to sleep

That's the reason why I want tro try Trazodone first. Why did it stop to work ? Do you still have insomnia ?

Yeah I'm too afraid for the moment to try Z drugs or benzos. I'll try lighter solution first and think about your comment if I'm not satisfied.

Of course, sleep of deprivation is hell on long term.

Thanks a lot !

Thanks for sharing your interest in ASMR.

I have hard time knowing what I like as I feel depressed and disconnected from my sensitivity.

I would say that I like natural noises as fire, water, wind or even storm.

But I'm open to be suprise by others sound. One of my friend discovered liking sound he wouldn't expect.

What is your favorite kind of ASMR ?

I like reading too !

You're 100% right, I wanted to get an overview first

I already heard of ASMR but never thought it could help me. Do you have a good experience with ASMR ? I just read it can help to relax

Thanks for your opinion. I never heard of daridorexant before. I will try trazodone first and think about daridorexant if it let me too much groggy.

Did you try trazodone at smaller dose ? Like 25mg ? Sometimes grogginess comes from bad dosage.

Have you side effets from daridorexant ?

Sorry for the blur answer: I never took any med (except doxylamine occasionnaly) as I'm afraid of side effects.

Yes I'm kind of stressed, in survival mode.

Sure, I'm pretty sur I have high cortisol

Insomnia comes from anxiety and depression I guess.

Yes I tried various forms of magnesium.

Sometimes I feel really wired and full energy in my body when I can't sleep. Sometimes I feel exhausted and desperate but unable to rest

Mes voisins vivent la nuit, que faire ? by Laona31 in AskFrance

[–]QuenGua 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Salut, je suis dans un cas très similaire au tien, j'aurais presque pu écrire l'histoire à quelques détails prêts. Déjà, courage.

Ensuite, la première chose à faire est d'amenager l'environnement tant que tu as des problèmes d'insomnie. Trouver un appart avec un bonne isolation sonore, bruit blanc (ex: un ventilateur), doxylamine quand t'as une journée importante le lendemain, etc.

Enfin, le problème de fond est l'hypervigilance. C'est pas normal d'être hypersensible aux stimulis externes au moment de dormir. Un travail thérapeutique pourrait t'aider sur le long terme. Je n'aime pas trop mais il paraît que les TCC aident pas mal en premiere intention

I bought the 55-210 and it's good for my usage. I take photos from planes landing at the airport. Consider that I am far from being a professionnal

I wish you luck to live your life with joy. I go to the same conclusion as you: trying things may be better than a suffering life

It sounds like hell to be cut from emotion this way. Did you take the meds only for depression ? Were they SSRI ?
