Are you on any meds right now?
I went three years with next to no sleep before seeking help. They put me on clomipramine and I went back to normal. Went off it, things got bad again but going back on clomipramine didn't help.
Wasted a lot of time trying other meds, which all failed. Not surprising given clomipramine is potentially the strongest anti anxiety med.
Now I'm about two weeks of all meds. I'm hoping that after they wash out of my system my sleep will be better than when I first sought treatment. Doesn't really matter though given there are no other options. As for the sleep anxiety...we have to find our own paths. At this stage, there is nothing any therapist could tell me that would improve my sleep.
Not sure if going off the meds is the right thing to do, but I feel like its the only hope at truelly being well again. My doctor has no idea what to do with me. He's a good guy, but I stopped relying on his advice long ago. He won't comit on the right path forward anyway.
