bad insomnia from this, and idk what to do

i got vss/hppd 5+ yrs ago from taking molly and then a pill of trazodone 2 weeks later

i’ve struggled w insomnia since taking the molly (hence trying trazodone), but the sleep got better after 2 months and then i was mostly able to manage 8hrs of sleep through the years, i would just always wake up once or twice throughout the night

however since december it’s been a lot worse. i wake up so many times during the night and am lucky if i can manage 6hrs of sleep. i cannot physically sleep more than that unless sleep deprived. i’ve tried cbt-i, hydroxyzine, amitriptyline 10mg, bromazolam, melatonin, zopiclone - nothing really helps.

i want to try seroquel or mirtazipine but given trazodone played a part in me developing this im scared to use anything ssri related for sleep. i mean at least the amitriptyline didnt worsen anything when i tried it at a low dose, but im scared to try anything else

does anyone have experience w sleep drugs and can advise me?
