In my experience with SSRIs, I couldn’t sleep for shit the first couple days, then my body got used to it and it was no problem after
Anon needs to take his trazodone earlier, or take less of it.
Dunno, I’m as sleepy on it or off it, so does it really matter?
Also thanks for reminding me to take my meds.
Could be Mirtazapine. But more than likely trazodone. Although I thought both of those were usually only prescribed when already on an SSRI.
Anon was looking for a long term solution.
Anon found a solution.
Is taking long term.
Questions the definition of what is an addiction.
You come off SSRIs (with or without) tapering and get “The zaps” and tell me that’s not addiction.
Source: Guess what I fucking did last year.
you are describing “chemical dependence”.
addiction is more than that.
Not all of them have that, I’ve been on about 7 SSRIs and have never had the zaps from stopping
That’s such an apt description.
The zaps can be fun sometimes
hot shower and anti-histamine. mimics the biological signals of falling asleep.
eventually the hot shower will be enough.
Antihistamines that cause drowsiness also lead to dementia if used regularly.
To be clear, the link is between anticholinergics, of which some first-generation antihistamines are, while others are less potent as anticholinergics.
Best I can tell, the clinical advice is to avoid prescribing these to patients aged 65 and above.
I’d still generally prefer sleeping completely naturally, but I think comments like these might make people avoid medicine that could help them improve their sleep over time. I was massively helped by the use of Hydroxyzine when I was younger, which helped me get on a path to better sleep and overall health.
I like melatonin and sleepy time tea.
Just try not taking the antidepressant, see what happens…
why is this downvoted?
Anon: has a problem, doesn’t bother to consider what options there may be to remedy it, just goes to his docco who does the docco thing, and anon bitches like an anon about the result. Scientists have yet to figure out how anons miss the wall as frequently as they do when passing through doors.
>Anon has a health problem
>Anon goes to the doctor to try to resolve their health problem
>This is a bad thing for some reason???

Over time it makes the quality of sleep worse, unfortunately.
Is that still the case if you’re only microdosing?
It does help you fall asleep, but yeah, say goodbye to dreams and REM sleep (aka sleep that actually makes you feel rested)
so do most of these antidepressants, with the downside that the side effects are usually worse
Big true. Nothing beats natural sleep, if you can manage to get any.
