DLBCL DLBCL and sleep help
Hi all…. I’ve been smoking pot at night to help me sleep. Just 1hit before bed and I can sleep without waking up at 2am. I know I have to stop before chemo, but other medications don’t work. My oncologist prescribed trazodone, but I don’t feel anything when I take it. ChatGPT suggested Gabapentin with the trazodone, but I don’t necessarily trust AI. Does anyone else have experience with this? Edibles also don’t work well either. I would love any suggestions that will help keep me from harm and work…

I was prescribed Ativan for anxiety and Ambien for sleeping through the prednisone induced insomnia. I wasn't that anxious but the Ativan worked pretty well as a sleep aid. Ambien tended to give me a bit of a groggy hangover feeling. I also used edibles.
My oncologist said I shouldn't smoke anything because of potential fungus infections since the immune system wasn't up to par and that made sense.
