This year has been a year of medical issues for me. I don't want to go into, but I'm happy to report I'm healthy. Yay. But throughout this year, I've been to lots of different doctors and not one single one hasn't either pushed a pill or a test on me that I didn't need. The minute I mentioned lifestyle change and diet as a way of curing things? Laugh me right out the door. It's sickening. The last doctor I saw got so angry at me for refusing to take a medication I didn't really need that had such bad side effects only to "prevent" something I may not even get. And don't even get me started on the roundabout way he arrived at his decision. I won't be going back to him, even if I need to.
My brother was on Lexapro for years, so I understand.

Re: Return of the Mighty Observations Thread
I don't trust doctors as a rule, but it's less because they push drugs on me than them not caring about anything I say, or having zero answers about anything. I also almost always wind up with some POS PA that's in a crazy rush and doesn't have time for me. Their answer is always "come back in a couple days if you still have symptoms. So I rarely go to the doctor for anything anymore. Waste of money and time.

Re: Return of the Mighty Observations Thread
I've suffered with insomnia for years but just recently I'm down to two hours of sleep a night. Doctor has just (today) put me on something called Sertraline which is an anti-depressant. I'm very dubious of taking this shift but will see how it goes.

Re: Return of the Mighty Observations Thread
My wife takes it - it has done wonders for her insomnia. Knocked her out for two days, then she slept as well as anyone. We did have a hard period as she came off them, as well as some other physical and mental issues, so she's re-upped. It honestly has done her nothing but good. I hope it'll be the same for you.Marky Dread wrote: ↑07 Dec 2017, 4:30pmI've suffered with insomnia for years but just recently I'm down to two hours of sleep a night.

Re: Return of the Mighty Observations Thread
That kind of sleep deprivation is seriously bad for you. It compromises so much of your functions. You owe it to yourself to try medication to get regular sleep.Marky Dread wrote: ↑07 Dec 2017, 4:30pmI've suffered with insomnia for years but just recently I'm down to two hours of sleep a night.

Re: Return of the Mighty Observations Thread
Sertraline didn’t do enough for me, sadly. But it did make me drowsy as fuck basically all the time.

Re: Return of the Mighty Observations Thread
My dad always seemed a freak to me because he could fall asleep, like, five minutes after going to bed. As if he could just will himself to snooze. Until about ten years ago, it took me forever to fall asleep, but now I'm pretty much like him. I read for about 45 mins, but once I turn off the light, I'm gone almost instantaneously. Which is mostly great, but it also means that I can't stay up late now. My body is just trained to shut down by 10.30.
