I’m new here and right now just extremely sleep depraved and cognitively not in a good state, I will introduce myself later properly.
In the past I had multiple periods of insomnia on and off, clonidine helped me the most, it was worse before that.
But a felt depressed for a while so I finally dared to try an anti depressant.
And just want to say that Lexapro (escitalopram) ruined my life right now.
I started it but the side effects were so extreme… the clonidine that helped me so much just STOPPED working and after a month of insomnia, cognitive decline, dizziness, mood swings, my doctor suggested to stop it (taper it off).
After the final dose the insomnia didn’t stop.
A month later and I have the most severe insomnia I ever had.
Days and days awake, my body is a mess, muscles are gone, cognitively I’m so slow I’m going insane.
I started diazepam a week ago and that helps to sometimes have an hour or maybe two.
