Hey guys, I’ve struggled with insomnia for the past 5 years and have tried pretty much every technique and pharmaceutical under the sun to manage it. The only thing I’ve had consistent success with is 7.5mg of mirtazapine.

The downside is the water retention and facial puffiness it gives me. I’ve developed huge bags under my eyes and constantly look sleep deprived, even though I’m getting 8+ hours every night.

Has anyone had success with other medications for chronic insomnia that are effective long term without too many side effects?

Any advice or experiences would be massively appreciated, thanks!
