made it thru 1st week on Mirt!!!!

really ?... not legal?... never thought that , but I really do not know, you can still shop on Amazon tho cant you?. I suggest just asking your pharmacist for his recommendation on a good sleeping pill. thats what I did

The pharmacist recommended the SleepMD   there are other sleeping pills I could buy too but I told her I wanted the best ones because the ones I bought before were literally crap....she laughed at me and said SleepMD are the best. and they really are! they get me yamning about half hour after I take them..lol

My doctor probably would have perscribed me something to sleep if I asked her but like I said before I do not want or need more perscriptions you know what I mean?

I told my doc about the sleepMD and that I was worried I would become dependant on them and she shook her haid No, she told me dont worry, Sleep MD is harmless and that I would not bec ome dependant on them at all. That was good to hear, I am a mother of 5 daughters, so you can imagine my lack of sleep over the last 15 years, It just happened that I becpome so programmed to be awake for the little ones that sleep does not come easy for me at all anymore.

Mind you the kiddies are all older now, the youngest is 4 and has been sleeping thru the nights for the last 3 years ! but not me !! lol

So there has to be something for you where you live that is similar...

maybe I could tell you the ingredients of SleepMD and you could find something similar?

Hi Nessie, if it wasn't legal Amazon wouldn't be able to sell it.   I've just bought a probiotic off Amazon that you can't bye anywhere else and that was developed in London .

Hi Vixxxen, it can be sold legally in the UK.  I think people get a bit paranoid when we can't get something from a Pharmacy, or GP.  But I don't think Amazon would be able to trade anything illegal.  Not that I don't understand because there was a time when I was doubtful .  Take Care.

Hi Natalie,

can relate to you very much.

I , like you , suffer with so much anxiety at what seems like the weirdest times sometimes. It kreeps right up on me at times and I have no way to deel with it , I have to just wait til it passes. I used to drink, which in turn caused me many problems over the years,. Today I am sober thank God. for a year now.

But when I went to see a doctor finally, to ask for help, she gave me the Mirt* and told me to start at 15mg for the first week, and then for the 2nd week go up to 30mg.

this concerned me because really, I felt pretty good on 15mg.. the first week, I didnt experience any anxiety at all during the day!!

But I also suffer fdrom insomnia, very bad. I am a mother of 5 girls for the last 15 years so you can imagine some of the reasons I have insomnia. ( as well as stress causes me insomnia) I am only 35 so this is alot for me to deal with. Insomnia , anxiety AND depression. I like how you call it low mood. thats what it feels like to me as well.

So, I had to go back and ask my doctor, why she wanted me to increase the dose to 30mg this week, if 15 was making me feel fine. Well, she said 15mg is usually perscribed to patients who generally have trouble sleeping and thats it...

And to increase the dose to 30mg, is to start treating my other issues, anxiety being the big one, and depression. Over the next few months I should begin to see changes in my moods, so as to not be so down sometimes you know what I mean?

I am a believer , I have faith... Im trying this Mirt out!

I will tell you this, I have not had the shakes, tremors and anxiety that I had before I started using Mirt*.... Its been a week and 2 days.!

For my insomnia I went to the pharmacy and bought an OTC sleeping aid which pretty much knocks me out at bed time thank god, I have trouble staying asleep when I do sleep.

My doctor also assured me that this was fine to take.

I have read many others thoughts on this site about Mirt* and it ranges from good-great to terrible and awful.

I easily get persuaded into the negative thoughts , which is sad because there are some people out here that have had amazing results from taking Mirt.* So I am hopeful.

My doctor wants to keep me on it for atleast 9 months to see signifigant changes. I am game for that.

All my life I suffer from anxiety, panic...and bouts of depression.. I do not want that anymore. I want to be free from that burden.

normal anxiety is okay... I can handle it at 'normal' times, like say at a job interview, or a first date you know?... but its the out of the ordinary anxiety attacks and complete panic that scare me.... makes me always feel like theres something wrong with me.

Well , natalie I have gotten thru the 1st week unscathed.. this 2nd week on 30mg is going to be okay too, I can feel it.

I hope this helps..

Vic

Thanks for replying back vixxxen222.

Just a quick reply as I'm on my dinner break.

My Docters have not said anything about increasing my dose. He's probably just wants to see how I get on with the 15mg. I dunno!?!

I'm hoping these work for me and I'm deffo going to give them a good try this is only the anti-depressant I've been on.

I had my first tablet last night and I felt a little drowsey before bed. Luckily for me I don't have trouble sleeping, in fact I sleep too much. I do feel for you though with your insomnia.

Take care. And well done with the drinking 😃

Hi Ness,

It sucks we all just cant have the same medicine available evewhere eh..?..

So theres the SleepMD, which you say isnt avaliable for you, its a good one for sure..

But another natural supplement that strictly helps sleep is called Melatonin. Ive had them in 5mg and 10 mg. they dissolve on your tongue with a minty taste) they work very very well. you can buy them at the pharmacy as well.

I have just recently gotten a perscription for trazedone, it helps you sleep as well. another one i know of is called Immovane. they are both strong enough to knock you out at bed time.!

thing with me is Im severe insomniac.  I woke up about 6 times last night ....on 30mg mirt* and 100mg trazedone.

tho I fell back to sleep easily. Some ights I just have way too much on my mind and I wake constantly!

Immovane and trazedone are 2 kinds you could ask your doc for. and Melatonin is at the pharmacy.

Hope this helps you..

you have to choose one tho, you should never mix them.

 

Hi Nessie, Sleep MD is sold on Amason
