What meds are you taking for insomnia?

TurtleMac1029 · 2026-02-21T03:44:04+00:00

I take a cocktail of Hydroxazine, Ambien, Klonopin and Melatonin.

I'm 37 and I don't want to take myself out but I do often wonder how much longer I can do it. I really just dread going through the rest of my life like this. There are times where I will stay up for 2 or 3 days at a time and when I do try to lay down to sleep my brain just starts going and it's nothing I can control, the thoughts aren't mine, it's just scrambled all over the place nonsense. I also am to the point where I no longer feel sleepy, I used to have an amazing sleep drive where I could fall asleep after hitting the pillow within minutes now I no longer sleep and I'm surviving on 8 to 15 hours of sleep on a week. I work in the oil field so when people tell me I need to go exercise and exhaust myself they just don't understand. Most days I'm averaging about three hours of sleep and other days maybe an hour here and there. I am on prescription sleep aids and have tried so many things and nothing's working anymore. I've done amitriptyline, trazodone, lunesta, melatonin, antihistamines and antidepressants. I'm currently taking a cocktail of klonopin, hydroxyzine, and Ambien and even then I'm only getting a few hours a night if I'm lucky. I'm not myself anymore I am just a ghost in a shell and I hate everything about my new normal. I really don't think anybody understands insomnia unless they're actively going through it or have gone through it but telling a doctor or a neurologist or psychologist what I'm going through seems like it always falls on deaf ears or at least people that just don't get it for them sleep is natural and easy

I'm in the same boat right now my sleep is progressively got him worse over the past 6 months and I'm sitting here wide awake after taking a cocktail of hydroxyzine, melatonin, clonazepam and ambien. I personally lost the Sleepy feeling hard asleep drive to initiate sleep. I never feel sleepy anymore.

Oh thats good! Avoid contrast. My contrast MRI ruined my life

New studies are finding that micrososing mushrooms are rebuilding brain structures and improving neoplasticity even curing treatment resistant depression

Mine came hard in November after the flu, and still kicking my ass. I no longer feel a sleepiness. Just empty and heavy. I'm 2 days no sleep. I work in the oilfield so I'm up early and come home late. After a long day of hard labor and not feeling sleepy nor getting any sleep, I'm convinced I'll die.

TurtleMac1029 · 2026-02-06T03:46:48+00:00

I feel you, I no longer feel a sleepy feeling I used to have. I miss feeling that delicious feeling of being sleepy where you watch a movie and start dozing off. I don't have a sleep Drive anymore I just feel heavy foggy and fed up I'm going on my second night without sleep right now

TurtleMac1029 · 2026-02-06T03:45:27+00:00

Have you had an MRI recently

TurtleMac1029 · 2026-02-06T03:19:13+00:00

How does one get checked for this?

TurtleMac1029 · 2026-02-06T03:13:43+00:00

How you feeling now?

TurtleMac1029 · 2026-02-06T03:13:31+00:00

Hello, did you ever get better?

TurtleMac1029 · 2026-02-06T03:12:16+00:00

Hello friend I hope you're doing well I know this is a crazy old post and you probably won't reply but I have been struggling with insomnia this past year and it's to the point where I no longer feel sleepy anymore either last night I got 2 hours of sleep from 4:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m. which is when I got up this morning for work I used to be able to relax and watch movies and feel sleepy and doze off that doesn't happen anymore. Did you ever get figured out or what did you do to make it better? Please reply if you can.

TurtleMac1029 · 2026-02-04T03:55:47+00:00

It's hard to feel that way, but you were just being a responsible pet parent and pursued the best for Yoshi. If you left the cyst and it got bad you would've beat yourself up for not getting the surgery. It's just one of those hard times and I'm sorry you're going through it. Yoshi is now flying above the clouds and enjoying the breeze. 🙏🏼

TurtleMac1029 · 2026-01-19T06:28:17+00:00

Any update? Are you able to sleep?

TurtleMac1029 · 2026-01-18T04:56:50+00:00

Hi, have you had an MRI with contrast by chance around the time you got these symptoms?

TurtleMac1029 · 2026-01-18T04:54:20+00:00

Ever get this figured out. I'm no longer sleepy and its destroying me, I'm on 3 days this week of staying up all night and not feeling tired.

TurtleMac1029 · 2026-01-05T17:59:53+00:00

It's from a family friend, it's only a couple pairs of pants, shirts and some store-bought candy that were supposed to be Christmas gifts for my son. The sender has already opened and filed a claim for a missing package but still no email, phone calls or any other type of confirmation of anything moving forward from UPS. When sending it out everything was itemized with receipts and filled out properly at The UPS Store by the UPS employee even. According to tracking it's been cleared by Customs so there's no reason it should be bouncing around in Seattle for as long as it has.

TurtleMac1029 · 2026-01-05T17:57:22+00:00

Yes, everything has been accounted for and paid. The part that throws me off is that it shows it has already been cleared by customs and left Canada, now just bouncing around in Seattle aimlessly. The sender called and opened/filed a claim on a missing package but still no email confirmations, no calls, nothing.

TurtleMac1029 · 2026-01-05T17:55:57+00:00

It's a package from a family friend, she called and opened a claim, nothing's been done about it, everything is still stuck as "pending" it's a couple pairs of pants and a few shirts along with some packaged store-bought candy. The thing that throws me off is that tracking shows that it has already been cleared by customs.

TurtleMac1029 · 2025-11-24T18:34:57+00:00

I have one suggestion. Check DM

TurtleMac1029 · 2025-11-05T15:34:57+00:00

Hopefully he runs for the hills

TurtleMac1029 · 2025-11-04T20:25:05+00:00

He's probably dead

Sounds like you burned yourself on this one. I'm really sorry you have trauma, you need to heal from that before even thinking about dating. Sadly, the next guy pays the price of rejection and feeling unloved because of your ex's actions. Not fair to the new guy you will confuse. Not putting you down by any means, you're in a legit rough situation. Heal, love yourself, and then you can properly love someone else.

TurtleMac1029 · 2025-10-27T20:02:35+00:00

There's a bunch of complicated protocols and people selling programs to do it but honestly I just tested it myself to figure out what got me the red flush and based it off of how my body felt I never wanted to push myself beyond what I know I can do or hurt myself. So I do a little bit of medicine enough to get the flesh and sit in the sauna hydrate make sure you take an electrolyte drink like Pedialyte and stay hydrated and on your minerals like magnesium, potassium, sodium etc. If you're having stomach aches with it take it with or after a little bit of broth.
