I have struggled with chronic insomnia since I turned 21. Like many I have been on most medications and combinations of medications and have found many helpful and many less helpful. My insomnia is not related to what time I go to sleep, sleep apnea, restless legs syndrome or any other physical cause - It is most certainly biological in nature. At the present I am not getting adequate rest on my current medications and have exhausted most of my options (I've been on most antidepressants, benzodiazepines, antipsychotics and combinations thereof). I am now looking into possibly trying Xyrem (which is difficult to get prescribed and carries its own set of risks). If I cannot get adequate relief from this condition soon then I may finally have to go on disability (and find another line of work that isn't 9 to 5). I would very much like to work on starting a movement towards research for insomnia to help find out the exact cause and gain validation for millions of those that suffer from it in secrecy. I have so much more to say but I have to get to bed now and hope to hear back from someone soon. I am 29 years old and have suffered from chronic insomnia for the past 10 years of my life.
