Trazadone helps
I think it`s different for us all what works for one might not work another. currently I take mirtazapine but the effects ware off over a long time, always consult with your doctor.
Trazodone, ZZZquil. Ativan. Weed.
My psychiatrist just put me on amitriptyline about a month ago. I was on trazadone for 24 years, but it had started to lose its effect. It worked well until it didn't. Anyway, the 25mg of amitriptyline puts me to sleep within about 30 minutes, but I'm very restless throughout the night so my next visit I'm going to ask if the dose needs to be increased, or maybe it's not the right medicine for me. I did have some pretty intense initial side effects with the amitriptyline. I had heightened anxiety, a panic attack, and some nausea. It lasted about a week and has been gradually getting better. Hope you find something that works for you.
I have tried a lot and none work for me unfortunately. One of my family members likes sleepy time tea which you can get at your local grocery store but it has melatonin in it so you don’t want to continuously use it. Darken your room with black out curtains if you’re able. Use sound proof ear plugs to drown out noise so it’s quiet or exercise during the day and don’t eat or drink anything 3 hours before going to bed, essential oils that are calming like chamomile or lavender are some non medication tips. Good luck 🩷
