I’ve been struggling with sleep issues for over a decade now. My Doctor has prescribed me all sorts of medication, all of which has had many adverse side effects. What I do know that works, is Xanax. My wife was prescribed it for some stress issues and occasionally will give me one so I can finally sleep. Obviously asking my Doctor, “can I have Xanax” Will not go well. I’ve eluded to it in ways and the response has always been along the lines of “that’s habit forming, I’d rather you try this”. Of the many medications prescribed, none have worked. Resorting to the dark web is something I’d really rather not do. Fentanyl laced drugs took my sister and it’s a road I hope to not have to explore. Any suggestions?

    Yeah, this is definitely me. I’ve tried talking to someone before but it didn’t go well. Hard to find the right person.

      I know it can be frustrating and particularly hard with insurance limitations and all of those obstacles. But finding the right person can mark an extraordinary difference.

        I have a lot inside me that I’d like to get out, just concerned as I’m not a trusting person and I have a lot of dark shit to unload. I’ve spent the last two decades coping with drugs and my body is telling me this isn’t a plan anymore.
