      Hey there,

      I just wanted to share my debilitating insomnia and depression story to let you guys know that it will get better. Last year around late August, I started to experience a very very tough cannabis induced insomnia episode. Strange right?! Weed usually help me sleep, but one night I smoked a small amount with a gravity bong and I couldn’t sleep for 5 weeks straight. It was as if the weed ignited something in my brain that didn’t allow me to fall asleep at all, no matter how tired I was. During the 5 weeks, I tried countless supplements and techniques, hyperbaric chamber, hypnotic therapy, energy work, infrared sauna, exercising, acupuncture, and much more. Non worked, at the ended my condition was so bad that I was admitted to a dual diagnosis treatment center in malibu. I started to take prescription medications for both depression and insomnia. What ended up working for me was serequol extended release, i was finally able to sleep a good 8 hours under 200 mg. But depression was still very obvious, It took me a few more months and a trip back home to China to fully recover. During that 5 weeks of insomnia, I actually thought I was dying. Just wanted to share my story to provide some hope. Although I am stuck in a post psychosis depression episode currently:/
