I am on day 24, taking 5 mg in the morning. Most of the initial side effects subsided, but the insomnia not getting better. Most nights can not sleep more than 5 hours, waking up between 4-5 and unable to sleep back.
Doc gave me Xanax and Ativan to try, and sure they both work, but those are not the long term solution. Asked the doc about hydroxizine too and told me that it is a dangerous and contraindicated combination, taken together with the lex can cause dangerous heart arrhythmia and benzos are safer for occasional use. As I see it is also listed a major interaction on drugs.com.
Tried some herbs too, like lemon balm, chamomile, hops, cbd without any relevant success.
Is it going to be better?
Sleep eluding you like that sneaky cat that never comes when called
