Oh okay man, no worries. Sorry the drug didn’t work for you. I’ve had great success with the trazodone at 50mg, without any noticeable side effects.
About 8 years ago, I used to smoke cigarettes and tried that drug Chantix to quit, holy shit, similar thing happened to me with night terrors and it turned me into an emotional case. I have a hatred towards it, so I can relate.
I’ve found going to bed at the same general time each night and reading for about 30-60 minutes has really helped me relax, fall asleep, and stay asleep more than I use to. It’s like training, you have to be consistent in your approach IMO.
I feel your pain, though, I’ve used Z12 (which I love), melatonin, Lunesta, hell even NyQuill to sleep better. The best thing I’ve found is what I wrote above. That and training earlier in the day (if that’s possible).
Have you checked your prolactin levels? (You know where I’m going with this…)
That stuff nearly had me killing myself or someone else, no joke. I was falling off the ledge after about 2 months to the point where my wife had to sit me down and explain what was happening. I was a mess.
I believe it man, it jacked my brain chemistry up too. I only took it for about three weeks though, because on the second week I started to notice a very stark change in myself along with the suicidal thoughts and insane nightmares. The last night I used it I woke up from an incredibly realistic nightmare where this fat dude was butchering my girlfriend and I was there watching it. I woke up from it smoked two cigarettes in a row and threw the Chantix in the trash.
Good on your wife recognizing what was going on with you, before it got further out of hand. Things like that can creep into your life without you realizing it, and sometimes being too late.
