re: Insomnia. What can I do about this? Will I die?

My friends! I’m very proud to announce to you all that I got about 10 hours of sleep last night. I had a teledoc appt yesterday and the doc prescribed hydroxyzine. I don’t really understand how it works but holy shite, it knocks your arse out. This morning I feel groggy and almost like a hangover but I think that may legit be symptoms of just not getting enough sleep. Either way, I will gladly take it over no sleep.

Does anyone here have any experience with this medication? Because if not, I wholeheartedly recommend. He said it works a little different than trazodone as it also attacks the anxiety portion of insomnia while also acting a bit like the family of Benadryl.

Regardless I feel sooooo much better. I sincerely thank you all for your advice and I hope anyone else going thru similar situations was able to take something away from all this.
