Horrible Insomnia
Hi! 25F here. I’ve been on qelbree ER for about a month now. I started at 100MG for 2 weeks and have been on 200MG for the past couple of weeks. My insomnia is the worst I have ever experienced in my life! Falling asleep has always been easy for me. My boyfriend would always joke that I fall asleep in seconds, but since starting this med, the insomnia has been nonstop. I’m lucky if I can fall asleep before 6AM. I’m up all night but then exhausted during the day which leads me to nap for an hour or two in the middle of the day and then I’m up all night again.
I’m in between jobs as of last month, so I’m sure that has something to do with it as I’m not burning myself out as much, but I’m starting to get really concerned.
I was on this med previously a couple years ago and never had this issue, but I am on the ER this time - so maybe that’s why?
Any advice to help me get to sleep is much appreciated! For context - I started taking it in the morning but would be very drowsy during the day, so I ended up switching to right before bed.
