  • Insomnia has me by the throat...

    Great! I don't want to offer medical advice, but I am personally afraid of benzos and the implications of using them long-term. I think it is wise of you to perhaps switch to something more mild, though do be sure to discuss it with your doctor relative to your symptoms.

    I have nothing against using medication if you need it because I have done the same myself in the past. I would encourage trying some of the more natural alternatives just to see if they work so you don't have to deal with any potential side effects. No guarantee either way, but all we can do right now is try things and wait!

    @BrOKeN_1 The graveyard shift business might also be hampering your ability to sleep correctly. I have historically disregarded the circadian rhythm at my own peril, but now that I've somewhat forced myself into one, it seems night time = sleepy time as anticipated.
    It only took 2 1/2 months but I can finally describe my T. It's like I've been hit by a flashbang on COD.. or that ambience post explosion.
    Apparently.. Sleep is off the table today. Gotta love the 48hr marathon.. lorazepam doesn't seem to be effective at the moment. Now what?

    A Benadryl and melatonin combo could help u. Take 50mgs of the former and 20mgs of the latter. Good luck buddy. Sometimes I add a shot of vodka if it still doesn't work.

    Benzos don't make me tired either for some reason. 3mg of melatonin seems to help a lot, but I try not to take it often so it keeps it effect when I need it.

    I will echo the above and throw my support in for melatonin. I've been taking it off and on almost my entire life. It generally does the job, and seems to help at least get me to sleep.
    As I head off for another graveyard shift. May the sandman find you all this night and beat your asses to sleep . Gnite Fam.
    To Accept and Habituate..Thats where I'm at.. I have to be. Time to reevaluate my approach. Change course... I will be happy.

    Please let me know what sort of strategies you may come up with, because frankly I am still at the "don't know what to do stage". I fear I could be hurting myself by my indecisiveness.
    I appreciate the support brother. It went away in the morning. It's back to it's normal 2/3. I am praying for everyone on here constantly now it seems. I can only imagine those that are always at a 6 or so. I pray they come up with a cure soon too. Be well and Merry New Year
