I have been battling depression for many years, and insomnia for a long time. I tried a sleep study. All I was told that I have bad insomnia and restless leg syndrome. A lot of lab work. I'm not anemic or have a vitamin deficiency. GeneSight test to show which meds would be best, okay, and not a good fit for me. TMS last year. Walking and going on different diets. Last month I tried Spravato. It seems like it's getting better. Sometimes I feel nauseous and throw up. If I planned better, I don't throw up.
In a few months, I'll be working with my health coach again that does functional medicine.

I found that a low dose of Abilify - 5 - 10 mg helped my restless legs and somewhat helped insomnia if I took it at night. Magnesium also helps the RLS somewhat. What may have helped more sounds like an old wive's tale - putting soap under the lower sheet - look it up! Also your iron has to be better than low normal, so just not being anemic isn't good enough.
