!!PLEASE READ !!

I had covid 5 months ago after recovery I noticed having night sweats and waking up in the middle of sleep or waking up an hour or 2 earlier than usual

I started taking seroquel 25mg for 3 weeks then consulted a psychiatrist who put me on mirtazapine 15 mg for sleep although I didn't have any depressive symptoms only post covid sleep issues and night sweats

I took mertazapine 15 mg for 5 weeks only then dropped to 7.5 mg for 2 weeks then stopped

first 3 days of stopping i slept only for 4 hours then my sleep improved for another 4 days I was getting 7 hours of sleep

after a week of stopping I have dreadful insomnia now my sleep is so interrupted and fragmented (it's my 9th day of stopping)

my question is how long will this insomnia last and why it's severe although I have been taking it for less than 2 months

actually my post covid sleep pattern was better than now

please help and tell me when will this end and what should I do to handle this iam afraid of taking melatonin for fear of dependence
