Anon was looking for a long term solution.
Anon found a solution.
Is taking long term.
Questions the definition of what is an addiction.
You come off SSRIs (with or without) tapering and get "The zaps" and tell me that's not addiction.

tell me that's not addiction
That’s not addiction. Addiction is just as much psychological as it is physiological, and goes way deeper than chemical dependence. Once you’re through the withdrawals of SSRI dependence you’re pretty much good, while an addict will most likely struggle for the rest of their life.
Getting off of long term SSRIs was a nightmare for me and left my body broken in a bunch of whole new ways
That's such an apt description.
Not all of them have that, I've been on about 7 SSRIs and have never had the zaps from stopping
Anon needs to take his trazodone earlier, or take less of it.
Dunno, I'm as sleepy on it or off it, so does it really matter?
Also thanks for reminding me to take my meds.
In my experience with SSRIs, I couldn’t sleep for shit the first couple days, then my body got used to it and it was no problem after
hot shower and anti-histamine. mimics the biological signals of falling asleep.
eventually the hot shower will be enough.
Antihistamines that cause drowsiness also lead to dementia if used regularly.
To be clear, the link is between anticholinergics, of which some first-generation antihistamines are, while others are less potent as anticholinergics.
Best I can tell, the clinical advice is to avoid prescribing these to patients aged 65 and above.
I'd still generally prefer sleeping completely naturally, but I think comments like these might make people avoid medicine that could help them improve their sleep over time. I was massively helped by the use of Hydroxyzine when I was younger, which helped me get on a path to better sleep and overall health.
I like melatonin and sleepy time tea.
Just try not taking the antidepressant, see what happens...
why is this downvoted?
Because people think I'm saying to just not take antidepressants rather than if you stop taking them, the withdrawal is going to really suck.
Anon: has a problem, doesn’t bother to consider what options there may be to remedy it, just goes to his docco who does the docco thing, and anon bitches like an anon about the result. Scientists have yet to figure out how anons miss the wall as frequently as they do when passing through doors.
>Anon has a health problem
>Anon goes to the doctor to try to resolve their health problem
>This is a bad thing for some reason???
OR, much more realistically, Anon: has a problem, tries every at home/ otc option available which all fail miserably, goes to doc who does doc things, doc things work a little too well (at least until ones body aquires the tolerance of an elephant after only five doses), Anon discovers the agonizing and frustrating experience of sleep disorders.
Source: been there, done that. So. Many. Fucking. Times.
There is rarely an easy remedy for this shit, only things that help and things that do not. A doctors only job is to help you figure out what those things are, if they are not, replace them but don't avoid them.
Yep. I feel like people expect doctors to figure it out first try. That's not how it works, everyone is different.

Over time it makes the quality of sleep worse, unfortunately.
