I have insomnia and take Ambien to put me to sleep and Trazodone to keep me asleep. Works well.

Insomnia is so hard! It's just a loop when im anxious so I can't fall asleep and then I'm just more tired and more anxious.. For me breathing techniques help relax, inhale for 4, hold it for 7 and then exhale on 8 counts. Also taking melatonin before bed sometimes helps a bit.

Adjust your meds, trial and error. We're not lab rats but with medication management, it seems that way. Medication is tricky and can be a drag sometimes, but it helps. I know our situations are different, but I know how difficult meds can be. Hang in there, sooner or later things will get better. Hope this helps!

Maybe it’s worth looking into your meds and seeing which one causes you insomnia…
