I feel as though insomnia is my main trigger for ctb feelings. I have been through so much shit in my life and one basic requirement to exist is denied. I just don't feel as though I'm ever going to get better
I drank a lot of vodka last night and took
1,120 of propranolol. Shame I had to wake up

insomnia is horrible, i can´t sleep for shit. i totally get u its just exhausting to be tired all the time but not being able to sleep though...Idk if my urge ctb is strengthened by it.
Have you tried any pills?
I haven't been able to sleep for ages but my psych gave a new pill: quetiapine 25mg. It's just magical! I'm sleeping like a dog and my mood has changed lots in a positive way!

I'm on 300mg nightly of Quetiapine. It helped me sleep for a few years then just stopped working. I was on a pretty hefty dose of a few pills at night. I was on 300mg pregabalin , 300mg Quetiapine and 40mg dulexotine and 40mg premathezine. My doctor took off the pregabalin and premathizine and swapped it for 10mg amitriptiline. It's just not cutting it

Have you tried sleeping medications yet? I take sleeping medications that help me sleep and they have worked wonders for me.

That's a lot of propranolol brother, it's amazing what the human body can resist sometimes
Yea been on a few different ones for years but they just stopped working :( it's so frustrating just laying there constantly wriggling because I can't sleep
I mixed it with vodka Quetiapine and pregabalin. It proper fucked be up. I was rolling around on the bed I kept trying to sit up but would fall over. Was similar to ketamine trip. I thought 800mg is a toxic dose

What I did is add more sleeping medicines and medications to the list. I currently take 4 to 5 medicines to help me sleep. Two are medications and the rest of over the counter sleeping medicines.

I doubt they are toxic together. I suspect that your doctor just doesn't want to combine medications for fear of getting sued.
I did an amitriptiline over dose a few years ago but she prescribed them again anyway ? I think that's going to come out when I ctb in coroners report
bad luck

Some doctors are very cautious. Once they told me to stop taking propranolol because it interacted with another medicine that another doctor had sent me. I didn't feel anything except that my basal pulse went from 60 beats per minute to 90. But then it stabilized between 60 and 70. I really don't understand the doctors. Each one has their own criteria and sometimes they contradict each other.
I call this one the hippy doctor because she doesn't like prescribing things. I have flat neck syndrome and it hurts like hell , when it got really bad my usual GP retired she just wanted me to go to yoga classes a few times a week, I'm not at all suprised she took pregabalin off me, it's potent
So tired :( haven't slept in about ten days now. I'm so fed up. Called doctors today couldn't get me in for two weeks for a telephone call.

i have wretched insomnia, hence i am here at 4am
makes me feel physically sick most days
quetiapine worked for me, the dose slowly creeping up. but now my dr wont prescribe me anything at all!!
etizolam was absolutely wicked for sleep, but the withdrawals are hellish

The only times I seriously thought about CTB is when I had a insomnia crisis. I have been dealing with it for 8 years. Valium helps with it, but at the same time it takes me to dark places and I feel like im falling into depression. So, its a daily fight trying to sleep well without valium.
When valium didnt help alone I mixed it with red wine or whisky. I stopped with that not to fuck up my liver

I'm on 300 mg Quetiapine doesn't work very well for me anymore. Got a call off my doctor this morning who refuses to increase my new amitriptiline dose from 20mg as it apparently takes four weeks to build up in the system. I told her to put on my record I have explicitly stated if I'm left a further two weeks with no sleep I don't think there's going to be much of me left. I'm already a shell
It's when my ctb is the worst when I'm suffering a bout of insomnia. Unless people experience it I can't even begin to explain how frustrating and head doing it is to just lay there tossing and turning for six to eight hours just wanting a basic human need

there is plenty of etizolam floating round the darknet, it is the best sleep aid I've ever encountered. but must be used sparingly, because its so short acting the withdrawals are honestly something else.
insomnia just makes u crave that big sleep all the more.

I only had insomnia for about a year. Was mental. Then a bladder issue where I had to pee every hour during the night. Don't know how people deal with it for any longer. Docs messed me up more with pills, withdrawls and brain zaps. Deepened my issue. Then I used simple things like a Liposomal melatonin, adrenal herbs to calm my system down and saw a chiropractor for my nervous system and it helped a lot. Changed my diet. Added magnesium salts, did parasite cleansing. Our minds gets wired and adrenals get tweaked out so no matter how many prescriptions we have, we can mask the symptoms but the problems still simmers. Pills stopped working for me and I found the basic things is what my body needed to function. That's was I felt anyway.
