Lifetime issues never treated
Without being too long winded Ive have insomnia since I was about 12-13 years old. This triggered a very innocent but serious opiate addiction in my early teens (this was in the hayday of pill mills). Eventually I was caught and a doctor put me on benzo's, we all know how that goes. Anyway in my early 20s this evolved into an alcohol problem and I drank for about a decade. It wasnt a horrible problem but I could feel the health effects. Since then Ive relied on cannabis to sleep.
Only was prescribed ambien once for a couple of weeks, but i built a tolerance within days.
Currently on bupropion (antidepressant) which makes my insomnia worse but absolutely solves my depression.
Anyway, where would one start with telehealth insomnia treatments? My current provider is only allowed to prescribe one medication at a time and suggested I look elsewhere. Ive gone through all of the OTC and herbal treatments. Just want to know where to start thanks!
And if anyone has experience with bupropion Id love to hear how you deal with insomnia.
