Hi everyone
I need some advice! I used to be on a barrage of tablets to sleep: Amitriptyline, Pregablin and Mirtazapine. I decided I was through feeling like I was drugged up and fed up with the side effects (massive weight gain). So I am now off Amitripyline and Mirtazapine, but struggling with the Pregablin. Having to take 150mg every few nights, and will be weaning this down to 75mg shortly.
I take Melatonin, Nytol and Seriphos to help me get to sleep at night (suffer from high nightime cortisol) but I am finding that I am waking up around 1am, and then waking at least once an hour from then until 4/5am. When I take my Pregablin tablet I do tend to get a better sleep, but I have been advised to come right off that tablet due to issues I am having with blood pressure etc.
So I am looking for any recommendations on something natural, herbal, any supplement that might help me sleep right through the night. The constant waking up is leaving me like a zombie, so I'm desperate!
Thanks for reading,
Lou
