Hello. I had TBI 20 years ago TBI that most likely caused sleep problems but it seems it is gradually worsening at 27 even when taking measures improve to sleep. Last Tuesday I started taking SSRI prescribed by psychiatrist, Citalopram. Even half dose cause weird effects and even stronger insomnia for two days so before taking full dose I talked with doctor about stopping these dangerous drugs since I wanted to try safer supplements first. So I got melatonin 3mg tablets which I divided into four parts (higher than 1mg doses can also cause insomnia, even 0.3mg is recommended). So first night after taking 0.75mg I got not ideal full 8 hour but at least improved sleep through it may have been fatique build up from previous insomnia nights, I was feeling groggy in the morning. Second night I took same dose and didn't sleep until 3am. So then I took same dose more and still I didn't sleep till like 5pm. Maybe SSRI still have effect?
It's just so crazy that my brother in same rooms sleeps well while can't even when living healthy lifestyle, exercising much more. There still might deficiency of vitamin D since I accidentally broke quartz lamp so I'm going to take D3 supplements to see if that helps.
