Rebound insomnia from caffeine?

Was prescribed 7.5mg for insomnia coming off from cocaine, took it for 15 days and cold turkey about a month ago on sept 8-9.

Wd were minor first day head pressure and anxiety. 2 weeks ago I drank quite a bit of mixed shots and had 2 nights of no sleep. Then a week later I slipped and did a very small amountof cocaine and didn’t sleep for a night.

Thursday I went fishing all day and smoked a little too much cigarettes and before bed I drank a whole bottle of lemon tea didn’t know it was caffeinated and instantly felt the anxiety and have been up since then maybe 2 hours of sleep in the 3 nights.

Having a really hard time any input would be greatly appreciated. Feels like I’m dying from paranoia I don’t know wtf is going on with my body.

I asked ChatGPT and explained my whole timeline these two months and this was the verdict.

“The main reason you are struggling right now isn't that you are permanently lacking mirtazapine; it is that your vulnerable brain keeps getting hit with heavy, unpredictable chemical spikes (like the alcohol rebound, nicotine surges, caffeine, and heavy cannabis use) [The Wave Columbia, White Light Behavioral Health].”

Rebound insomnia or from alchohol

So I cold turkey off 15 day use of 7.5mg 19 days ago with only a headache and anxiety first day. Last Saturday I ended up drinking and took 7-8 shots of mixed liquor, ever since then I haven’t been able to sleep the last two days. I’m exhausted but I just lay there wired and jolt awake every half hour in a panic.

Probably doesn’t help the fact that I’ve been smoking cannabis and cigarettes heavily due to the stress of not sleeping, as I already smoke heavily on the daily basis.

Got up today again without any sleep and just balled my eyes out. I am suppose to be in Europe with my fiancé but this whole ordeal has got me stuck here.Any input would be appreciated.

Mirtazapine for insomnia

Doctor prescribed me 30 days of 7.5mg for my insomnia from cocaine withdrawals. It’s been working for the past 2 weeks but since I’ve been reading people’s horror stories I’m starting to get a little freaked out since I cold turkey off Xanax 4-5 times. This is the first time I’ve been prescribed anti depressants other then trazodone for a week or two. Currently I am smoking cannabis and cigarettes going to try to quit cigarettes once I feel a little better. Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated.
