Honestly, I held out so long talking to my doc about insomnia. I was pretty miserable due to it, I’d get 5-6 hours of sleep a night. Once I talked to my doc and got some meds to help, holy shit what a change! Now I’m getting a full 8 hours and I’m so much happier throughout the day

I really want to sleep more than 5-6 hours per night, but I also really do not want to rely on GABAergics/benzos for sleep. Besides, doctors in my country will rarely prescribe them anyway.

I have quietiapine in low dosage (25 mg) it helps my head relax and get me out of the brain monologue that usually keeps me awake.

Gabapentin is a lot different from Benzos in terms of addiction potential. Same with trazodone I highly recommend them just for how much they’ve helped
