No but getting the help you need is actually so life changing in ways you can't even anticipate. I've had insomnia diagnosed by different doctors over and over since I was seven years old. It took me hours to fall asleep as a child. As a young teen I struggled to wake up, I struggled with nonrestorative sleep as early as 14. C-PTSD and insomnia diagnosed at 21. The only advice I ever got was "exercise, practice good sleep hygiene, no electronics in bed, bed is only for sleeping" etc etc. I was offered trazodone at my first appointment with a psych recently. I tried all of it, and none of it ever helped.
Now, in the span of two years I've gone from "so tired I can not work, can not drive more than 15 minutes without falling asleep at the wheel, requires 10+ hours of sleep, sometimes lays awake for 3+ hours"
to "working full time, fall asleep on a dime at 10-11 pm, more restorative sleep" with the addition of just ONE medication. Medically, neurochemically, we don't even know WHY it works yet. We have no clue! Low dose naltrexone should not affect my sleep schedule, for all we know. But it does, and it's positively changed my life.
The craziest part is that I'm not even taking it for sleep problems!!! I take it for symptoms of fibromyalgia and H-EDS! But one medication, just 2.5mg of a drug we don't even understand, has cured a problem that I have had for twenty years of my life. And that's not even the primary benefit. It's just staggering.
Sometimes you really are just deficient in The Vitamin. You might do all the effort and tricks in the world and it will never be enough because we don't know about the Vitamin you're Deficient in yet. It's just fucking crazy. I hope all ya'll find your vitamin in this life.
