Wow I can’t believe the amount of people suggesting Ambian. I have heard nothing but evil regarding that drug. There are much more milder forms of sleeping pills available, check with your dr. Try not to get addicted to them....they are all addictive.

There is nothing wrong with getting a generic version of Lexapro or whatever he suggest. Non addictive and easy to get off of if they don’t agree with your system. They will help you sleep at night. Be aware it does take a few weeks to get the full effect. Try not to go the Xanax route as that is extremely additive and it does kill thousands a year. I would only suggest those for extreme anxieties such as flying or whatever gets you on edge. No no for sleep maintenance as the dosage will need to increase if used daily....then you are a drug addict

Other suggested pot. It doesn’t work for me but it is worth a try. Probably the least harmful for you if it does the trick. My 62 year old wife toast one up every night to help her sleep.

Sleep gets harder the older you get so try and get a safe handle on it. Exercise is great as previously mentioned but it may not be all u need. To me it’s better to take a prescription of antidepressants if necessary to get a solid nights sleep. Half of America’s on them....might as well join the party.

Anyway that’s my opinion...you will get many on this subject

Didn’t want to start a new one...anyway, don’t care, mental health will always apply.
Skip over if you do not think it applies to you.

Clonezapam, Paxil, and Ativan as needed have helped me stay clean and sober for 28 years.

Mental health matters.

If you really want a bump in serotonin 5 HTP will give bigger boost than the Psych drug variant. People used to take Tryptophan but since Tryptophan converts to 5 HTP before converting to serotonin it's one step closer.

Weed exercise and weed. In that order.
I have been working graveyard shift for a little over a year and was feeling really depressed and sleep deprived. Best thing I've found is to wake up. Smoke some weed. Get some exercise. And repeat before bed.
Pills are baaaad in most cases.

Also what really helped me was micro doseing magic mushrooms. Taking such a small dose towgere you don't even feel the affects. I wake up the next days and it's like I got a massage for my brain. For real

Sex, and lots of it. If you don't have a willing partner then masturbate like a mofo. It won't cure depression but you will sleep.

Whats your take on them?
Went and saw my doctor.
Think its the best way to get me sleeping and back normal.
I dont see how a pill would keep me from thinking about everything going on with me.
Nor do I think I am depressed just stressed.

So what is your guys take on them?
Man....I gotta say , it sounds like something I have been going through the past 6 - 7 years. I'm not sure 100% exactly why or how it started , but it eventually got bad enough , it was affecting my every day life.

I have this thing where at night at about 8 , 9 or 10pm.....my brain goes into hyper drive. Usually at least 5 nights a week. With my brain going that fast , the body reacts and you get that " nervous energy " thing going on. I had gotten so bad at times that I would literally feel exhausted , but my mind and body would not slow down......and when it finally did , I would be bed ridden for a good 14 - 16 hours and take me 2 days to feel normal again. ( Bronwyn and Justin can tell you )

I would be up for two full days strait.....to the point of working out and even running in the middle of the night to try and burn energy off. I've worked out for 5+ hours strait and it didn't make a dent!.....still up for two full days ( missing two nights of sleep )

So after years of suffering , I went and saw a doctor. Been since January that I take a Trazadone and a beta blocker to slow myself down. I now sleep like a baby , and feel pretty damn good the next day after I get some coffee in me. I hate having to take things like this , but it got to the point where it felt like it was ruining my life. I have to say....I feel pretty fucking awesome right now! Wish I would have gone and seen the doctor before.

Side note : I don't suffer from depression either. Anxiety shit...yes.

I needed help with my sleep , but I know some people take this stuff for depression. The anxiety stuff acts up for no reason and is 100% random for me. I can be stressed on money , bills , everyday life....and sleep like a baby. I can be at the beach crabbing and fishing.....and have a fucking anxiety attack. Makes no sense to me.

I take ambien a few times a month when I know that I absolutely have to get a good night sleep. But it's weird shit, and about 6-7 months after being prescribed it (and taking it more often back then) I had my first hallucination with it. I had taken it, then something came on television that I wanted to see and I didn't go to bed right away. Bad mistake! I can also verify that the warning about not mixing it with alcohol is a good one, and not simply a challenge as I first took it to be.

After getting scared by ambien my doctor had me try trazadone. Definitely put me to sleep but left me groggy for half the next day. Now I use melatonin a few nights a week and an ambien if I know I need a full 8 hours. I only keep ambien at my bedside table, don't want to risk taking it then getting diverted before bed. And never with alcohol!

I hear ya Alp. I do also take melatonin on nights where I'm not so bad. Sometimes it'll slow me down enough to sleep , but like clock work I can only get 4 hours out of it. I went through years of just taking melatonin , and on the nights where it helped me get to sleep , I would always have about 1 - 2 hours in the middle of the night , I would have to take another one and wait for it to work. I had to adjust my entire life around really bad sleep. This stuff i'm on now , has felt like a life saver , as of now anyways.

One thing I maybe didn't make clear. The no sleep thing , wasn't just a " restless mind ".......I had energy levels that most people wouldn't believe or even understand. Amounts of energy an 18 year old would be jealous of after drinking a 6 pack of redbull. When you lift weights and spin bike for 5 hours strait in the middle of the night , work all day and then do it again the next night...with no sleep? When I finally did sleep , I felt like I was in a coma for 16 hours and felt like shit for a couple days after.

Yeah, melatonin is the same for me. I get to sleep, but it's a crapshoot if I wake up and can't get back to sleep after 3-4 hours. Back when I used ambien more often I didn't have issues of waking up early and I didn't wake up still tired or in a "fog". I wish that the trazadone got out of my system quicker because it's definitely a sound sleep but it's just a bit too long of an effect.

Ambien is a good tool, but you have to be careful with it. My doc said that it doesn't develop a true addiction but that it can definitely become habitual. I used to worry about that a lot, but so far I can not use it for a couple weeks without any ill effects. Hopefully that lack of total dependence stays put.

Tiring yourself out of masturbation is a good way to sleep. But it's not really good for someone depressed.

Everyone’s system is different. It doesn’t matter what blend I have tried, it all makes my mind race. My wife is the exact opposite and it knocks her out and she sleeps like a baby

I suffer from depression and anxiety and am on Prozac. I hate the feeling and have been trying to get on Xanax because I can’t smoke weed. But the pills tend to help a bit but nothing takes away that gut wrenching feeling you get with this shit
