Anxiety when trying to sleep

[N00bsudhsns]

After my last acid trip I can hardly sleep. It was the most intense I had, and I dont remember much. Now however, every night when I try to sleep my breath shortens and a sense of panic comes over me almost like Im drowning and forcing my body to stay under water. I need to sleep desperately, is there anything I can do besides take benzos or melatonin

When did you take the acid? If it were me, I would take a benzo just to be able to get some sleep. Do you have any other meds to use?

Valerian root, Gabapentin/lyrica, diphenhydramine, things like that.

Get into meditation, it sounds corny but it is helpful. Also exercising so much that you get tired and want to sleep helps. Chamomile tea can also help people.

If it gets really bad see a doctor or talk to a therapist. Good luck.

if you'd like to avoid benzos then a low dose of mirtazipine might help you out here man
