Struggling with Sleep Despite Multiple Medications

i'm on 3 different medications to help with my sleep. they all worked well at the start of taking them individually, so we keep adding on more. even so, i am STILL waking up throughout the night. at this point, is it insomnia, or could it be the "sleep disturbances" that come along with FM?

Can you help? connect today

Unfortunately, after 24 years with FM, I have found that many times a medication that works quite working after a few months. Especially the sleep meds. I've been on every sleep med out there. Right now, I take Tizanidine (muscle relaxant), Hydroxyzine Pamoate ( anti-anxiety), Naproxen (for pain, allergic to opiates), and medical marijuana gummy 50 mg. I manage to sleep most nights 5 to 6 hours straight, then toss and turn. Looking into getting a mattress topper.
