Hi
Do you think the trazadone help you more than the cyclobenzaprine.
I just saw my naturopath, she increased my mag glycinate to 2 before bed, 50mg . 5htp and increased my cbd oil. Since going off hrt because Hormone positive breast cancer.She said my nervous system and my hormones are really low. So hopefully my g p will give me the trazadone.

I had breast cancer 30 years ago and had the same sleep issues after HRT therapy. It left me with fibromyalgia and sleepless nights. I tried all the prescriptions they gave me. Only clonazapam has worked for me. Is it worth it to “try” all those “natural “ remedies and still only (maybe) get 6 hour sleep? That sounds like a LOT to be taking.

Regarding Trazodone, it's hit or miss for me. Sometimes it helps me fall asleep and other nights it doesn't seem to work much. I think the cyclobenzaprine helps more but it's not something you are supposed to stay on for extended periods of time. That's why I alternate the two drugs. But some people have great results with Trazodone, so it's worth a try. The sleep effect is supposed to happen about 20 minutes after taking it, for best effect.

I wonder if your naturopath would increase your magnesium glycerinate to 300 mg? That is the dose that helps me the most, and it's within the RDA guidelines.

I like the Minny Grown Hibernate sleep gummies, They have a BOGO sale ending after today with the code MNSNOWDAY.
