I have severe sleeping problems since the end of March.
For the first few weeks I tried to fix the problem on my own, but couldn't.
In mid-April I went to my GP, he prescribed Zolpidem first and, seeing that it did not solve my problem, Diazepam, but neither. (I clarify that these medications lasted a maximum of three nights).
Without alternative, in May I go to the psychiatrist and he diagnosed me with GAD, to be exact, since May 14 I have been taking 20 mg of the SSRI Paroxetine.
I think this will finally fix my sleep problems, but otherwise they got worse.
I go back to the psychiatrist in a few days and he prescribes me Promethazine to sleep, it doesn't work, and then he tells me to combine it with Pregabalin.
To clarify the matter, from that moment I take three medications a day.
Thanks to that I can sleep better but there is a big problem, it turns out that I am a living dead. Since I take the three medications I feel dizzy, drowsy, it is hard for me to think and remember very basic things.
Due to this problem, two weeks ago I went to the psychiatrist again, he took the methazine and replaced it with Eszopiclone.
I start to sleep badly again, much worse than before.
Tired of all this shit, last Monday I pretended to make a clean slate and a new account, I abandoned all the medications. Result = four days without sleep.
Yesterday I took the medication and I was able to sleep well, but I'm sick of it all. I also feel that as a result of all this situation I lost a lot of brain capacity. I am seriously considering suicide, I think I have no escape.
