Yeah same my Dr was like… the usual ones are addictive or just have rlly crazy side effects. He’s like since I’m not a sleep specialist. let’s try the antidepressants since it’s more common/safer. It’s been ok so far lol.

i’ve been on mine for 7 ish years and they’ve been great. i had a bunch of major concussions and it caused me to sleep only 2-3 hours a night and get wicked migraines so my doctor tried different meds till one worked. and now my migraines are down to every other month if that (used to be weekly) and i sleep snug as a bug in a rug

Oh damn ok what’s the mg? Are the side effects minimal. I also cycled through diff meds. Some only worked for a week or kept me up or didn’t really do anything.

i’m on 40 for sleep, and i don’t have really any side effects other than a bit of drowsiness in the morning if i take it too late (10 and after for me)
