im afraid that i will lose my mind from lack of sleep

Catherine21

Have you spoken to your doctor its torturous lack of sleep very impacting on all aspects of your life have you been given any advice from doctors

Agnia

yes i have spoken many times to the doctor about it im taking mirtazapine as well but doesn’t help me to sleep at night

Catherine21

I'd speak to doctor again I've always had to have some form of sleeping tablets just to turn my brain off I feel for you my mum suffers badly from insomnia but she won't go to doctors id go back and say your meds aren't working and how it's impacting on your mental health I really hope you find something to help you x

Agnia

Thank you very much Catherine

The doctor said that will not change decisions and will not give me other medicine than promethazine

Agnia

Could you request to see a different doctor I have a good doctor who listens you deserve good care after a while we become immune to our medication not everyone ask for a medical review of your tablets I wish you good luck

Agnia

Thank you Catherine for replying to me , You are very kind

i will try to do it

I think I've advised you on this before but I take Amitriptyline and have done for quite a few years now and it does help me sleep. I still sometimes have nights where I wake up and can't can't back to sleep but mostly it does help a lot. Before I started this I was only sleeping 2 or 3 hours a night.
