chronic insomnia and Remeron?
i have been having insomnia for 10 years now…. i recently take Remeron (as prescribed by my family doctor) and it helps tremendously…
but without Remeron, i can’t sleep.. ( i haven’t tried another medication)… i tried all the usual sleep hygiene… eg, no caffeine, the sleeping environment is perfectly comfortable..
i simply couldn’t turn off my brain at night… i don’t know why… Beside Remeron (or other sleeping pill), is cognitive behaviour therapy the answer?
please help me!!!!
i am a 30 year old male…
btw, if i go to bed (at or near bed time) just to lie down for a short while without the intention to actually sleep (for example, before taking a bath), i would fall into sleep pretty fast (unintentionally of course) even without taking any medication…..
You sound as if your insomnia has been well thought out and treated so if mirtazapine (Remeron) works for you I would be pleased. Cognitive therapy sometimes works but it is not commonly employed and less often paid for by insurance. When medications are prescribed appropriately symptoms and problems do return when the medication is stopped and this is normal. I would be pleased that someone has addressed sleep hygeine and found a medication which works well enjoy it.
