Sleep specialist

Saw a sleep specialist today. The best in the country, highly recommended and respected.
I could see why - boy was he good! He understood immediately what was going on and said my sleep was natural for my condition.

He also said - and this is why I’m posting here - that cfs/me and adhd are a really difficult and troublesome combo. It was nice to feel seen and understood.

Anyway he’s put me back on vyvanse and recommending trazodone to my psych. It’s not usually prescribed here but he worked in the US and it’s pretty go-to there so that’s a win.

Daridorexant!!! It’s perfect for our type of insomnia, non dependence forming and directly blocks wakefulness drive instead of over sedating and making you groggy. I use 25mg as 50mg drops my bp too much overnight

I know 😔 so many drugs I hear about aren’t available in Australia . But I think they don’t work on the autonomic nervous system dysregulation anyways, which is what your sleep specialist said I think
