Hello, I am 23 years old, girl, I want to ask for advice, if someone has encountered, I have been struggling with insomnia for more than 6 months, but really hard, in the beginning it started at once, without any extreme stress, just like that, no I could sleep for 2 days, on the third I drank melatonin and slept, then the next night it didn't work. And again everything was repeated 2, 3 days without a drop of sleep, until the morning. During the day I also couldn't, it's not from a regime change or anything like that. The next week I slept and calmed down. Then it started again, for 2, 3 days without a drop of sleep. I tried everything, mostly herbal medicines. I am a student, and this insomnia bothered me a lot during lectures and in general during the day. So I drove for almost two months, trying all herbal remedies. It didn't work. I shared with ours, and so it started with doctors. First a neurologist, then a psychiatrist ... I was depressed. I didn't feel bad, only the lack of sleep made me feel devastated. And I was afraid I couldn't sleep. And I was like a rag. I started taking AD in the morning, in the evening lexotan and remirta 4 months after the beginning. AD I still drink it, almost 6 months. I supposedly stopped the others on the second one, I started sleeping, my sleep was coming, but the moment I had to reduce my blood pressure to half in the morning, things got worse again. I started drinking remirta again in the evening, it is also called AD, but with a soporific effect. The only medicine that helped me. At the previous psychiatrist I drank gerodorm and it is really strong, it worked for me for exactly 3 days and stopped! Then I changed the psychiatrist. The remirte works for me. But now I can't stop her. I drink small doses, quarters, but without them I turn around until morning and get up. Is it because I reduced the antidepressant. I don't know, I can't stand this vicious circle anymore. I also went to fairy tales and what not, nothing. Please, if anyone has really taken such drugs and has any knowledge in this area at all, I would be very grateful if you share!

God, God ... what do modern medicine bring people to ...
You may have too much energy and have to get tired to fall asleep. Do things that will make you tired and in the evening when you go to bed you will write down immediately. When I'm on vacation, I have a hard time falling asleep because I don't get very tired.
It's really weird that the fairy tales didn't help. Anyway. You can get a second job and go on night shifts. When you can't sleep, use your time. If you don't feel like it, read books or watch movies at night.
If I can't sleep, I just read a book. One chapter, then I try again and if it doesn't work, another HD. Try no joke, you lose nothing.
All of these drugs, not drugs, act on the symptoms, not the cause. You will become a guinea pig on a trial and error basis. You will even become addicted to medication out of fear. You don't share anything about your diet. Appearance, time of reception and other details, external stress, something that seems insignificant to you. Even psychiatrists do not put drugs directly in the head, but inject them through the digestive tract.
You switch to hydroxyzine - a diphenylmethane derivative. Twa neuroleptic with carpet sedative effect. I recommend it to you as a pharmacist. 2 x 1 tablet for two weeks.
I can sleep as much as I want, from 6 to 10 o'clock at night. Two nights ago I even slept for 12 hours and I feel very good. The trick is to have clear thoughts in your head, not to envy anyone and to love all people in the world equally. This is my recipe. And to know that God is merciful to those who sincerely believe in him.
I took chlorprothixene or olanzapine
Hypnotics lead to lifelong addiction and drug addiction. Stop them. Don't go to the doctors - they will only hurt you even more! An adult needs 8-9 hours of mandatory unawakened sleep every night 365 days a year. You have CNS damage for some reason. The most likely is an industrial pollutant. Coffee factories damage the CNS and cause insomnia, as do many other industries. If you are damaged by an industrial pollutant, your nervous system cannot recover on its own - it still depends on the degree of damage. Move somewhere in the fresh air, drink vitamins 'b', find on the Internet more information about vitamins and diet supporting the functions of the CNS. Keep in mind that systemic insomnia is harmful and dangerous for the human body. You do not write what city you are from, but approximately in the city of Sofia, in neighborhoods such as 'Nadezhda', 'Svoboda', 'Obelya', 'Banishora', 'Ovcha Kupel', 'Bozhurishte' and others, many people have CNS damage from carbon dioxide, industrial quantities of caffeine and others. Remember that mixing sleeping pills with alcohol can be deadly! Think, be persistent, do what I advised you and everything will be fine!
Oh, child, child! Try white clay, drinking clay from the pharmacy. You put a spoon in a glass of water, wait for it to settle and drink in slow sips. I know it from folk medicine, if it doesn't help it will at least clear you of some of the chemicals you drink. And check for worms, do not laugh when a person has worms, a lot of harassment is plus insomnia. Do you have blue circles around your eyes?
From the author: Hello, thank you for the advice! I also tried books, at times they put me to sleep, but until the moment I leave the book and turn around again. This, of course, was not the case before this cycle was unlocked. I've even tried to think of something, just to turn off the brain, ie to make it more tired, but it doesn't work ... that was before the pills, before I went to them. With this remirt I got better, ostensibly, in 2-3 months and now I have started it again for about 2 weeks, as if everything started all over again. To number 5: The main question that torments me is what the reason is, and I'm scared because I can't find one. True, I only treat the symptoms, but I can't find the cause. I had no doubt, last summer I worked on a fruit farm, it was very hard, I was there for two months, and before that I had not worked hard, I thought it was not because my body is used to it and suddenly I come back here and after another two months it unlocks. And the year itself was difficult for me, at university, but it still can't become such a serious problem, it's still not easy for anyone, but people manage to sleep. At one time I was training, running in the morning, I felt good, but only for the day, the good thing is that there are no side effects from the pills, I am not overweight, I eat normally and try to be healthy, I drink one coffee a day in the morning as before. I even tried one week without coffee, just tea, and nothing. What this stress will be, I don't know, I'm already starting to think that I will be on pills all my life, not because I want to, but because I have no other choice. I've been to a psychologist twice, and I've done hormone and shield tests. gland and everything is fine! And I even hoped it was because I knew I would cure the cause.
Do not go to fortune tellers, it is a great sin. Talk to a priest, confess to fortune-telling, have him say a prayer to you, take holy water home and drink regularly.
From 5, to the author. Again, you do not give details about your diet and your daily routine. To fall asleep you need melatonin from the pineal gland. It is only produced if the pancreas does not secrete insulin. Until you give more details, try the following; 20 minutes before going to bed drink 200-250 ml. warm boiled goat's milk, in extreme cases cow's milk, but not from the store, but full-fat, non-homogenized farm milk.
FEAR is what you need to shake off. Believe me, you have nothing! You don't fall asleep because you go to bed for fear that you won't fall asleep, you think about it all day and that's how you wind yourself up. This is a problem that will disappear the moment you FORGET it! Relax, let go of the current and don't care. Your soul is too bent, relax it! Exercise, engage your mind with something radically different. If necessary, drink a sedative - it works best if you drink it 1-2 hours before bed to "catch" you and lie down relaxed and calm. The reason is only your FEAR - and it is in your own consciousness and only you can drive it away. The next time you can't sleep, don't let that bother you and don't set a goal - the dream will come as soon as you forget the thought of it.
The greatest cure for insomnia is a well-lived day.
