I have taken the most sporadic fatal insomnia where my brain is awake constantly and does not contain any sleepiness. I am on Zopiclone, Seroquel, Mirtazapine, Meltonin, and I add Megnesium ad Gaba. I get knocked out but the root probelm is not being addressed. I used to be the the complete opposite, needing a lot of sleep. My brain snapped the complete oppostie way in a 3 night period iin Feb of this year. I am so scared out of my witts what lies ahead of me. I have paid for an MRI brain scan but never heard any results.

New study showing protective effects against dementia. I think this is because it promotes sleep without depleting ACh.

How does this affect those who can’t sleep due to stimulants for adhd.

Did not work at all for me. So disappointing.

The first night taking the drug (Dayrigo) led to vivid dream. Thing night 5mg taken 2 times in 2 hours has no effect. Sleep was induced by Zolpidem. No more sleeping pills please.

[@jeanluby4636]

Then what instead?

Kaiser won’t prescribe anything unless it’s generic.
