My new Meds?

TLDR: My new Meds?
In the forum thread, Naiwen discusses starting new medication for mental health issues, including insomnia and anxiety, and expresses hope that these will improve their condition. Naiwen mentions being prescribed busburone 15 mg and later adds Lyrica 50 mg to their regimen. Lavalamp empathizes with Naiwen's insomnia, sharing personal experiences with sleep issues and medication. Butterfly88 offers support and encouragement to Naiwen, who reports that the new medication is working well. Nomad inquires about the specifics of Naiwen's medication and discusses personal connections to mental health issues, suggesting alternative therapies. Naiwen responds by emphasizing the necessity of their medication for daily functionality and dismisses the use of alternative medicines, indicating a reliance on prescribed medication to prevent severe mental health crises. The thread highlights a supportive community sharing experiences and concerns about mental health treatments.
Sorry to hear about your recent health issues @Naiwen .

Hope you feel better soon and the new medication helps. Get plenty of rest. You can always post on here too if you don't feel good.

Take care of yourself. x
 
Thanks, but I think I should take some pills later at night, to have a more regular sleep, I've had insomnia again tonight/panic/anxiety/dissociation attacks. Thank you for your concern, everyone.
 
Have you spoken to your doctor about rhe insomnia you have been experiencing?

I've had extremely severe insomnia in the past (I hardly slept for 4 days on one occasion last year) and am generally not the best sleeper, so I can empathise. I've also been on medication for insomnia in the past as well.

Yep. taking 2 sleeping pills at night, sleeping much better right now.
 
I have a new stress and anxiety relief pill (busburone 15 mg) at night after dinner to take for my insomnia and panic/stress/anxiety attacks. I have called both my GP and psych today to have relief from it. Hopping it’ll work like a charm tonight.

Fingers crossed it works for you!
 
What kind of medicines are you using? I once had trouble sleeping and was taking one pill every night for a month. Then I gave up medication and started following alternative therapy and alternative lifestyle.

Taking bubusrone 15 mg at bedtime currently.
 
What are you using bubusrone for? How many medicines in total are you taking every day? What kind of mental issues do you have. I am asking this because my father suffered from depression for 10 years, my mother is battling mental health issues, and my spouse has an anxiety history.

Maybe a dozen for different medical reasons.
 
That's bad. How long have you been suffering from these conditions? What does your doctor say? Do you have to take these medications for life long?
 
Do you actually have to take these medicines lifelong? Have you tried alternative medicines, Traditional Chinese Medicine, for example?
 
I’m back from my psychiatrist now. I have a new med to take at bedtime ：”Lyrica, 50 mg”. Supposed to help with insomnia and mood swings. Hopping it does the trick.
