Insomnia

I've had insomnia issues for many years but lately it's gotten really bad. If anybody else is having this problem do you have any tips, or has anything helped you? I've tried it pretty much every supplement out there. Thanks!

Right there with you brother. Tried a lot of different things, including a CPAP machine. I've tried the CPAP multiple times, and I just can't get used to it. Closest thing to helping has been edibles, but I have a CDL, big brother doesn't approve of this because they are backed by big pharma and we all know, big pharma likes to block anything, through the govt, they don't have control of. So, I'm always open to trying something new or different that could help or solve the problem with sleep issues.

I’ve had sleep issues for as long as I can remember. No good aids out there for me either. I've tried them all.
 
I’ve had sleep issues for over a decade. I got nothing for ya. I’ve tried just about every supplement and even some meds. The meds make me way to groggy when I actually do have to get up and function if they work at all. I can’t use drugs like edibles cuz I get drug tested…which also means meds I try need to be prescribed. I’ve tried HGH and nada for sleep aid. It’s one of those things I just try my best at and cut my loses.
 
Maybe attending support groups, say like for testicular cancer, could help. "Babies don't sleep this well." - Tyler Durden

Jack has found a cure for his insomnia. Some of you will understand, others will not. 1st Rule: we don't talk about it.
 
Yeah, I’ve been taking sleep medication for the last five years and then just this last week I found an article online that linked long-term use of sleep medication to Alzheimer’s. Fuck that! I need to drop that shit as soon as possible.

What were you using? Did it at least help your sleep? I've seen the articles linking long-term use to alzheimer's also, but it's so hard to go through life when you're only sleeping a couple hours a night.
 
Mirtazapine is a medication that belongs to a class of drugs known as noradrenergic and specific serotonergic antidepressants (NaSSAs). While it is primarily used as an antidepressant, one of its notable effects is its ability to improve sleep in certain individuals.

The exact mechanism by which mirtazapine improves sleep is not fully understood. However, it is believed to work through its interactions with various neurotransmitters in the brain. Mirtazapine enhances the release of norepinephrine and serotonin, two neurotransmitters involved in regulating mood and sleep-wake cycles.

Mirtazapine has sedative properties, which can help individuals with sleep disturbances. It acts on histamine receptors in the brain, leading to drowsiness and promoting sleep. This sedative effect is particularly beneficial for individuals who experience difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep.

Unlike some other antidepressants, mirtazapine does not suppress rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, which is the stage of sleep associated with dreaming. This is important because REM sleep is essential for overall sleep quality and cognitive function. By preserving REM sleep, mirtazapine may contribute to a more restful and restorative sleep experience.

It is important to note that mirtazapine is primarily prescribed for the treatment of depression and is not specifically approved as a sleep aid. However, its sedative effects can be beneficial for individuals who experience sleep disturbances as a result of their depression or anxiety.

When taking mirtazapine, it is essential to follow the prescribed dosage and instructions provided by your healthcare provider. Mirtazapine is typically taken orally, usually as a single dose at bedtime. It is important to avoid abruptly stopping the medication without consulting your healthcare provider, as this can lead to withdrawal symptoms.

I take either NyQuil or Bromazolam a couple hours before bed. I try not to take the bromazolam too often since it’s a benzo.
 
I'm low rent here, and you may have already tried CALM magnesium and also, GABA is one of my go to supps. Sleep like a baby. Combo the two for calming, sleepy affect and deeper sleep.

Delta sleep-inducing peptide (DSIP) is a neuropeptide that has been studied for its potential role in promoting sleep and regulating various physiological processes. Here is some information about DSIP:

Function: DSIP is believed to play a role in regulating sleep patterns and promoting deep, restorative sleep. It has also been studied for its potential effects on stress reduction, pain modulation, and immune system regulation.

Warnings: DSIP is still considered an experimental peptide and its safety and efficacy have not been fully established. It is not approved by regulatory authorities for medical use.

Half-life: The half-life of DSIP can vary depending on the formulation and administration route. In general, it has a relatively short half-life ranging from a few minutes to a few hours.

Precautions: Since DSIP is not approved for medical use, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional before considering its use. They can provide guidance on potential risks, interactions, and appropriate dosing.

Dosage and Administration: Due to the lack of standardized guidelines, there is no established dosage for DSIP. If it is being used under medical supervision, the dosage and administration will be determined by the healthcare professional based on individual needs.

Missed Dose: Since DSIP is not typically prescribed on a regular basis, missed doses are not applicable.

Overdose: Information on the effects of DSIP overdose is limited. However, it is important to use caution and follow the recommended dosage to avoid potential adverse effects.

Side Effects: Common side effects associated with DSIP are not well-documented due to limited clinical studies. However, some reported side effects include drowsiness, dizziness, headache, and changes in blood pressure.

Drug Interactions: DSIP may interact with other medications or substances, but specific interactions are not well-established. It is important to inform your healthcare professional about all medications, supplements, or herbs you are taking before considering DSIP.

The report said that any benzo diazepam type of medication puts people at a higher risk of Alzheimer’s. I’m going to be talking to my doctor soon about changing medications. I’ve tried a few but the one that’s work the best has been Rohypnol. It’s illegal in the states but you don’t build up a tolerance to it like you do with other sleep medications.
