Sadly I lost my job last week due to serious insomnia I suffer for a year already.I couldn't work in rotating shifts so I lost my job.
Last psychiatrist gave me diagnosis of neurasthenia which is rare condition,I do have some symptoms of it,and I read it has correlation with insomnia and it's chronic condition.
So I became very anxious and affraid if I will ever fall asleep without meds,and when I take meds besides antipsychotics I always wake up between 2-3 a.m.
I tried them all 25 mg of seroquel,25 mg of amytripline,trazodone 75-100 mg,olanzapine 2.5-10 mg,remeron 7.5-15 mg,100 mg gabapentin.
they all give me very bad side effects tomorrow like drowsiness,sleepiness,bad hangover, etc and it's hard to function normal and live normal life.
I currently take nitrazepam 5 mg just but I know I will hit tolerance soon.
I take 20 mg of lexapro in the morning.
I really don't want to spend rest of my life taking antipsychotics for insomnia,I'm just 35.
I just want to know if sleep will ever return and I'm so affraid it will not,because a year has passed.
