I'm new here. I have extremely bad insomnia which is messing up my life. I keep taking benedryl but it's doing nothing. I really need actual friends to talk with.

@Eren2273 I used to be on that allegedly for anxiety. I would fall asleep fast but couldn't stay asleep š„

I recommend asking your doctor about Clonidine for sleeping, it's a blood pressure medication and it WILL knock you out (most likely, at least)
@AnxietyQueen83 Yeah, that's fair! It won't work for everyone, sadly. I use it for my anxiety on extremely bad days

@Eren2273 uk or somwete else. Drugs r different from lace to place
The only thing thatās actually helped me without making me feel awful later is magnesium supplements. Obviously you want to do your research, check for interactions with meds, etc. Preferably talk to your PCP or other medical provider to make sure they think it will be okay (sometimes theyāll do blood work to check and make sure your magnesium levels arenāt too high for supplements). But I do know a lot of people, both personally and through forums, who say itās really helped. A lot of people with conditions like ours are actually low on magnesium. If you donāt want to try the supplement, perhaps eat foods that are high in magnesium, particularly in the evening. regardless, I hope you find something to helpā¦ š
@serendi I'm actually low in magnesium and vitamin D
Yo, tried so much shiz for sleep, only over the counter that did š«anythingš« was unisom, helped me stay asleep but I felt pretty groggy in the morning Helped better than what my doc gave me at least. Heard Cbd and Cbn are good, I like Cbd because its not sold with thc In it XD, would love to try cbn (heard great things) but its typically a mix with thc and thats been f*in my anxiety lately so haven't able to try it š š
I have insomnia do you get told "nobody gets a full 8hours, everyone gets tired" if I get 10min in a day/night it's gone well. I'm absolutely exhausted. Have u tried melatonin? I was put on that it helped for about 2 weeks giving me a few hours most nights n it was amazing ha
@Pain_Warrior89 I've tried melatonin, Ambien and benedryl. It seems hopeless.
