Sleep Drugs & Supplements

The big medication I was taking to help with sleep is Eszopiclone. I ended up staying on that one the longest prior to this group due to it being the only one that seemed to help at all (went from taking ~3hrs to fall asleep to ~2hrs) but I’ve tried any you can imagine or google. Since class I’ve stopped taking it. Falling asleep takes a noticeably longer amount of time, but I understand it’s a process.

Other medications I have not stopped taking that can relate to sleep

• famotadine (nausea when lying down)

• Lamotrigine (fairly new medication, sleep issues have existed many years prior, this is one of the few that has had no effect on it)

• And something for restless leg syndrome, I’ll post the picture below. Attempted to stop taking this, but to my surprise it actually was working and RLS is beyond miserable
  

Caffeine intake is…

I drink 1 Red Bull usually around 6 AM, and I occasionally have another one later in the day. I take magnesium as well as melatonin before sleep. The system usually works well, but I am excited to begin curtailing my intake.

I drink coffee 2-3 times a day. Cutoff time at 1:00PM

Just putting out a list of my supplements that I tend to take to start some dialogue if anyone has any feedback

Typical day:

• 4 grams of nutricost electrolytes

• 1 early grey tea (coffee maybe once every week or two)

• 60 grams of body fortress protein

Mix in from time to time:
