Which Is Better Long Term: Mirtazapine or a Benzodiazepine?

The reason I'm asking is because I've had bad insomnia unresponsive to many medications except those two.

The issue with mirtazapine is the weight gain which could eventually lead to metabolic effects.

The issue with benzodiazepines is that they can cause tolerance, dependence, cognitive effects, and withdrawal is severe. However, they don't cause metabolic effects.

I'm honestly at a loss. What should I choose?

Woman’s Month: The Precious Tohru

Ok, so I know it was technically last month but I've been busy guys!

For Women’s Month, I want to highlight Tohru Honda from Fruits Basket. She’s often remembered for her kindness and the quiet strength behind it. Despite losing so much and carrying deep loneliness, she's still the most empathetic character on the show. A true altruist, believing people are worthy of love even when they don’t believe it themselves.

Her empathy robustly ended years of trauma in the Sohma family, showing that gentleness is as powerful, if not more, as force. Tohru reminds us that resilience doesn’t always look dramatic, it looks like warmth, patience, and the courage to keep caring. 🌸💛
