I started spiro and it's been so good for my mental health but it has caused insomnia for me. It is starting to get to me, I'm only getting 5-6 hours of sleep a night (sometimes less...) I go to sleep and wake up at around the 5 hour mark and can't fall asleep.
I only started like 2 weeks ago. Has anyone else dealt with this? Does it go away? Any tips to get around this? If I could sleep well this is like a miracle drug for me. I really want it to work out
I go through bouts of sleeplessness whenever I start a new medication. It takes my body time to adjust. Just try to relax and don't get it into your head that it's going to keep you up at night, especially if it's been good to you (I know you got that health anxiety, like me). If it continues for like 1.5 months, then you probably need to look into it
I'm sorry you deal with insomnia, for me I try to get at least 7 hours and my quality of life gets pretty bad If I don't get enough sleep. This is also new to me, I haven't had sleep issues since I was a kid until I started Spiro. I guess we'll see if it goes away :/ but I hope I don't have to stop
There are other androgen blockers ♡
If they stop spiro, cypropterone is right there and available (in fact, you might move to it eventually anyway).
Unfortunately it is not. You can't get it here in the US
