I'm looking for a medication I can seek (non benzo) that'll basically put me to sleep and keep me asleep until I need to wake up.. I haven't slept in 3 days, and I don't want to blame it on the adderall because I've only been taking it during the day to keep functioning like I need to. I've been having a lot of anxiety while trying to work through trauma and shit and this wasn't a problem at first... but now, I've got to commit to waking up at 7:30/8 am 6 days a week for the next 3 months which was like fine because up until this week I was doing just that. But I suppose with the nervousness of needing to commit to this schedule, as well as all the other stuff I've been dealing with feeling more significant... my mind just races at night. I go to bed, chest heavy, eyes closed but my mind still races i've tried to leave my tv off, but I need noise and music doesn't do it for me... so I throw on a show I like at low volume because it's comforting. I literally leave my phone in another room so I'm not tempted to look at it... I just lay there with my eyes closed for hours... maybe I'll drift off a bit, but one sour thought / dream hallucination / nightmare (I hit REM almost immediately and I hallucinate a lot - def don't have narcolepsy tho so really i dont know why this happens or if there is another reason) anyway, not sure if I'm making sense and I probably said a lot more than I need to because my question is simple. (I'm so exhausted, while my doc was being very stern about no benzos was also commenting on how exhausted i sound) ok anyway i don't even want benzos i just need to be put out no hallucinations no hypnic jerks no waking up wanting to cry every hour like she just prescribed me mirtazapine which I will try tonight and will hopefully work and if it doesn't them im really really really really fucked. but anyway uh i don't think that i got to my point i want to know if anyone has been on a non benzo medication that has helped them with their insomnia/sleep issues really well....?!?!?!?! hope this all makes sense if it doesn't i will delete and pretend it never happened <3
