Recent sleep issues
Alright y'all, I'm making my first post in the subreddit. So starting in September I started having really bad sleep and bad anxiety. The Anxiety started from having achy legs at night, which then I started looking up symptoms on Google. This led to a downward spiral of thinking I have either MS, Diabetes, or a blood clot. I ended up going to the doctor, getting bloodwork done, going to the eye doctor (I thought I was going blind from diabetes), and EVERYTHING came back either normal or better than normal.
My doctor prescribed me Buspirone, 5mg in the morning, 5 in the afternoon. The first day I took it I couldn't sleep until 4:30 am. The next day I took it in just the morning and only got 1 1/2 of sleep. The next day I didn't take any and I still couldn't fall asleep until around 2-3ish. Last night I tried everything, I went for a walk later in the day, took a shower, took magnesium Glycinate, and even took Zzquil Ashgwaghanda+ Melatonin gummies. I was dozing off watching a movie but when the movie was over I went to actually go to bed around midnight and just could not fall asleep.
Another context is anytime I try sleeping in MY OWN ROOM, I can't fall asleep and stay up. I have better success on the couch. I've tried Zzquil and Unisom but both of those make me so groggy the next day, and I don't think zzquil even does anything for me anymore.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I thought this was going to end after I found out I was healthy and nothing was wrong. Now I have anxiety about not being able to sleep. Is it the Buspirone keeping me up? Do I need a sleep medication? I work at 9am, I can't really be going to bed at 2-4 every night. I used to be able to fall asleep easily, in my own room too. Now it's a fight every day.
Any suggestions help. Thanks!
