My personal journey with sleep meds - I think it's a success

  • staying up all the time my sleep schedule keeps changing
  • start taking Seroquel
  • buy ear plugs and an eyemask
  • staying up all the time my sleep schedule keeps changing with weird side minor effects
  • get off of Seroquel
  • staying up all the time my sleep schedule keeps changing
  • more structured life and better habits
  • staying up sometimes and my sleep schedule changes sometimes and it's rough when it does
  • try melatonin - feels like it hardly does anything
  • covid lockdown hits - my PCP tells me about a study where ppl who took massive doses of melatonin had better immune systems
  • take massive amounts of melatonin
  • sleep schedule does better than ever!
  • do well on this for about 3 years
  • learn that melatonin likely effects your reproductive system
  • get off it and replace it with eating pistachios at night (which have an insanely high melatonin amount)
  • sleep schedule better than ever!
  • ween off of needing it every night
  • now I only need it on certain occasions, sleep schedule better than ever

Yeah, man, I took seroquel cuz it happened to just be around, great sleep, but completely blocks your natural dopamine and serotonin. Shit sucked
