My experience with mental health and First Episode Psychosis.
After a few days where I
simply
could not
sleep
more than a couple of hours a day, with life going at top speed, one day I woke up and my mind was working differently. It started after I took myself to A&E, looking for support with sleep and mental health.

Melatonin
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41440-019-0223-9 I am wondering if anyone uses melatonin to slow progress of kidney disease? Although seen primarily as a sleep aid melatonin has many beneficial effects throughout the body. I have been taking 20 mg per night for 4 years for another issue with beneficial

Excellent sleep aid
Hi gang. You all know the trouble I’ve had sleeping recently. Well last night I added two new elements to my routine: CBD oil and this product from a Canadian? firm called Comfort Linen . The sheets etc are designed to work together and I must say I was very impressed with the freeing up of my movements

i have depression, suicidal ideation and I don't know what to do.
it took me two weeks to taper from lexapro to Cymbalta. I've now been on Cymbalta since 10.14.22 (2 weeks) at 60. I'm also on lithium. I have had very weird side effects. It was very hard for me to sleep. Sometimes 3 or 4 hours,sometimes up all night. We kept switching Cymbalta from day to night and

My Long RLS + PLMD Story (so far) Half of a Victory
I've dealt with RLS since I was a teenager. It grew increasingly worse as I aged. (I just turned 63). I also suspected that my legs were twitching and moving around a lot in my sleep. Eventually I learned there was a clinical name for that, too: PLMD (Periodic Limb Movement Disorder) that frequently,

Artane
I was on Artane [Trihexyphenidyl ] for stiffness and within 2 weeks of taking it I had severe hallucinations , I thought the doctor would of decreased my dosage , but she increased it. I really wish I did not do that. It was a mistake and it took some time to get over it.

RLS or something else?
Hi, I started vaping to replace a tobacco habit and got carried away with the vaping taking in far too much. Started off a light tingle in the arms initially for a few weeks but then spread to the legs where it is focused most. It happens when i am about to fall into a deep sleep. I can lie in bed

Newbie, hi
I'm 60. I was diagnosed 1 month ago with RLS. I've had symptoms since I was about 13 years old. I'm taking Pregabalin and have just moved onto my clinical dose. I'm not enjoying the side effects but hope they will pass. My life has been one of dealing with excessive daytime sleepiness, mental health

Weaning off Prednisolone after miscarriage
Hi Ladies, Sorry for another question, but I have been on 20mg of Steroids for 6/7 weeks since my transfer. Sadly my pregnancy ended in a mmc and I have been advised to wean myself off the steroids. The clinic haven't been too clear about what that means. I was taking 4 5mg tablets per day, and just

Zolpidem users: a debilitating surprise awaits at 65
I took Zolpidem (a.k.a., Ambien) for 12 years. Last spring my doctor cut off my prescription without discussion. Around the same time my brother's doctor cut his prescription from 10mg to 5mg without discussion. At same time a fellow employee of my brother had her prescription cut off – without discussion

Painkillers for nerve pain / side effects
I am a 71 yo male with PAF / exercise induced AF, which doesn’t overly affect me too much. I am fairly active and a regular cyclist. Recently I have been suffering with a trapped > irritated Femoral Nerve in my Left leg. This is quite painful at times and keeps me awake at night. I have been attending

lorazepam effect in elderly
my father (89) has just been prescribed Lorazepam- he has dementia and has nightmares at night and poor sleep. The lorazepam seems to help him sleep but he’s in a terrible state during the day, very disoriented and depressed- he’s been on it 4 days and I’m worried - my question is should he keep taking

I've decided to go with eight donor frozen oocytes and fertilise with fresh semen next week. Has anyone gone down this route?
The donor produced and froze 18 oocytes three weeks ago. So I'm hoping that means it's a lot stronger. Please do Share your stories especially if you are using the same method. I'm currently on progynova to prepare the lining of the womb and would appreciate any good tips or suggestions

Liothyronine and cellulite
Hi, just curious to know whether anyone else has experienced cellulite after taking T3 and if so have they found anything that helps reduce its appearance. Since being on T3 for a year I’ve developed significant cellulite on my legs and also weight gain - rather odd as it is supposed to increase cell

zonisamide for parkinson's

Big, big trouble Houston
I’m 60 now but a guy so I’m still prone to daft things like buying Microsoft Flight Simulator. I flew a 747 the other day and blimey did it let me know when I tried a questionable manoeuvre. Red lights, Commercial Airliner Crash Warning sirens etc. Well it’s sort of a metaphor for me currently. Some
