Insomnia. What seems to help?

I was on 7.5 then 15 mg of Mirtazapine for 6 months . I have 7 different chronic digestive disorders for 11 years now .
I rarely weigh myself as I’ve been same weight ( probably 40 lbs over what I should be ) for 15 years.
I weighed myself after 6 months on the drug and I gained 10 lbs !! I’m so sick 🤢 and was eating even less than usual. I didn’t put the 2 together til I just read comments.
I take 10 mg Ambien for years . Was on 5 mg for 4 years now 10 mg .
It only keeps me asleep 💤 3-4 hrs at most . I decided to break in half , take 5 mg at bedtime and 5 mg at midnight when I wake up again . It seems to work better for me that way .
I’m off the antidepressant now . Honestly probably need to go back on one because my digestive disorders are so bad and chronic , it’s getting me so down . I’m crying too much . Best wishes on finding the right thing to help you sleep. Even when I do sleep o have such fatigue in daytime ;( .

Have you tried Lunesta? Or if your doctor would prescribe you Lorazepam....you should take that. Just tell your doctor that Ambien is just as addictive as Lorazepam....but the big difference is....is that Lorazepam WORKS!! GOOD LUCK!
