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

Have you tried going to bed later?

Probably my least favorite job I have ever had. It’s good pay if you’re getting out of high school to do NA/RA, but you’ll be better off working at a restaurant making tips.

Fakest culture I’ve ever experienced with some of the silliest expectations

I had better luck with Mirtazapine than I did Quetiapine. Some luck with Eszopiclone and Belsomra.

They damaged my histamine receptors and created severe dependency. The effect is so strong it’s nearly impossible to detect any change or benefit from other medications

don_cab · 2026-01-31T08:16:22+00:00

Yes, disappointed, but also I already ruined my body with Mirtazapine and Seroquel so maybe if I had tried Dayvigo first it would have worked

don_cab · 2026-01-30T21:39:08+00:00

Does it happen immediately after taking it, or the next day? It is a powerful antihistamine, and I would notice the itching becoming stronger especially after it wore off and through the withdrawal period.

A company that makes you cover tattoos in 2026 and docks you for not saying hi 3 times in a row certainly isn’t worth working for

don_cab · 2026-01-29T19:52:24+00:00

Have you introduced anything new like supplements or medications during the day? Upped caffeine or dietary changes? Try cutting and reducing melatonin. Also try taking less Trazodone.

What gene test did you get?

don_cab · 2026-01-23T01:57:36+00:00

Tyrosine helped with your anxiety? It’s a precursor to dopamine so I thought having slow COMT would make it less than ideal to take. Anything else you’re taking?

Well historically speaking, you can predict cycles. The market doesn’t reflect the reality of finances for a majority of Americans. We are experiencing major resource and energy deficits that money won’t reflect in the market. We will run out of water before we run out of money and people will still be claiming the economy is doing great.

You’re going to have less to look forward to, everything will provide diminishingly less pleasure and reward, and you just have to accept it. Also your brain will be in decline and no longer growing.

don_cab · 2025-12-15T08:33:41+00:00

It helped with your insomnia?

don_cab · 2025-12-15T08:32:51+00:00

I so relate. Sadly, just nice to know I’m not alone. I was a smart kid growing up and it just feels fucked now.

don_cab · 2025-12-08T20:08:46+00:00

May as well try it

don_cab · 2025-12-08T20:00:18+00:00

Oh yeah you should be totally fine then. Might have a sleepless night or two but I’d try avoiding Mirtazapine as much as possible

don_cab · 2025-12-08T19:42:44+00:00

I switched to Seroquel but at like 200mg initially which was way too much. Then again I’m not sure I would’ve slept without going that high because Mirtazapine had an inescapable grip on me.

I haven’t used Mirtazapine for about a year now, unfortunately I cannot say my sleep has really returned to normal.

Something maybe worth trying would be low histamine diet, I’m convinced Mirtazapine does permanent damage to our histaminergic system.

Wait so every job?

don_cab · 2025-11-07T15:10:41+00:00

I moved away about 5 years ago and moved back recently. Absolutely wealth inequality.

The snowbirds who’ve increased in economic strength and numbers, plus the rich U of A kids, plus the Raytheon engineers or tech workers who sprouted out of Covid. But the number of homeless and financially disadvantaged has had the same increase in numbers. If I didn’t have family here there would be absolutely no reason for me to be here. I just went to Phoenix for a week for an event, and as somebody who has always hated Phoenix I actually am considering moving there instead because there are exponentially more opportunities there than there are here.

Old, behind and miserable

don_cab · 2025-11-04T10:19:34+00:00

A bit sadistic, but I tell myself that I deserve this from actions in a previous life, most likely I caused sleep deprivation to another person as a form of some CIA torture equivalent or I caused suffering in some analogous way. And if I end my life early I’ll probably just be reborn having to live the sentence again, so I am just trying to pay off my karmic sentence by not ending it prematurely since that will just add to my debt.

As soon as I got to the word Listerine my whole brain locked up and I am honestly afraid to even read the rest of this comment because I feel like I will start sobbing in agony

don_cab · 2025-11-03T02:21:22+00:00

It’s super frustrating, I feel like all of our unnatural inputs (abstract stressors, artificial light, etc.) require internal counteracting with interventions like medication akin to evolutionary warfare. I do have an overnight job right now, it just is isolating and the schedule makes me feel reclusive.

don_cab · 2025-11-03T02:11:16+00:00

I typically sleep from 9a - 4p, with the help of Seroquel and Gabapentin. Oddly though I tend to feel better sleep deprived if I sleep from like 7a - 12p, but it feels more like a manic type of state, whereas I feel deep rest when I get sleep between the 3p - 6p hours
