I think it a side effect of the birth control I was newly taking. It started at the same time that I was having other bad side effects. I haven’t taken it in 6 days but am still struggling, was on it for just under 2 months.
I’m waking up multiple times a night, 10-20. All night from a few hours after I fall asleep until right before my alarm. I’ve had sleep issues before but usually just falling asleep or waking up once in the middle of the night.
I feel like im gong crash combined with the other side effects of the birth control. I have PMDD as well, which makes it feel 10x worse.
Sleeping meds that used to work were doxepin, Xanax or cbd and neither are doing anything for me. I’ve tried cutting back on caffeine but I only drink 1-2 cups of coffee in the morning to begin with. I have had to drink some in the afternoon to make the long drive home from work, but that doesn’t last long (which is normal for me).
What else can I try before I get into the doctor?
