My personal journey with sleep meds - I think it's a success

staying up all the time my sleep schedule keeps changing
start taking Seroquel
buy ear plugs and an eyemask
staying up all the time my sleep schedule keeps changing with weird side minor effects
get off of Seroquel
staying up all the time my sleep schedule keeps changing
more structured life and better habits
staying up sometimes and my sleep schedule changes sometimes and it's rough when it does
try melatonin - feels like it hardly does anything
covid lockdown hits - my PCP tells me about a study where ppl who took massive doses of melatonin had better immune systems
take massive amounts of melatonin
sleep schedule does better than ever!
do well on this for about 3 years
learn that melatonin likely effects your reproductive system
get off it and replace it with eating pistachios at night (which have an insanely high melatonin amount)
sleep schedule better than ever!
ween off of needing it every night
now I only need it on certain occasions, sleep schedule better than ever

Who told you to take Seroquel as a sleeping aid? I take it for mental illness reasons. Sure it knocks you out, but holy shit. I gave one to my partner who was having trouble sleeping one night, she woke me up to get me to ”make the clown go away”.

Definitely not to be used as a sleep aid.

Same, I took seroquel cuz it happened to be prescribed to another family member, awesome sleep but fucked up all the natural dopamine and serotonin. Plus acid and mdma didn't work anymore
