sleeping help

[Obill9]

i am having problems sleeping at night, and my gp will not prescribe me anything to help because of side effects that may cause me other medical problems. He says i should go back to my psychiatric doctor and see what he says as far as prescribing me new medication.

I cant keep going on like this, any support and help you can give me would be appreciated

I use mertazapine. Ask about it. Doesn't help much but for sleep.

Hi I use a very low dose of mirtazapine which does wonders helping me sleep. It is not a sleeping pill but an ad and is quite innocuous and shouldn't interfere with any other meds. x

How many Mg's you take? I do the max 45.

[hypercat54 in reply to tppppppp]

15 mgs but I cut them in half otherwise they just make me feel spaced out. I am on 150 mgs sertraline as well for the depression. x

45 dies make me a bit loopy. But I don't care. Bring it on!!!!

Well they make me sleepy so couldn't take them while I was working. x
