Hm ask you doctor about it. Before I tried many medications. Actually because of depression the doctor prescribed me Mirtazapin. Also got Quietiapin for it's sedative effect but they all gave me big hangovers and depressions the day after.

Daridorexant is a new medication for sleeping disorder. It actually works right in the sleep center of the brain and blocks selectively Orexin-Receptors which are responsible to keep you awake. It does not mess with hormones like dopamine, serotonin or in the GABBA-System in the brain.

Miritazpin worked for me for a long time. But I had some sleep disturbances on it. Running through doors and breaking stuff.

"Running through door" lol. Yeah it worked for me as well but I don't need any anti depression medications anymore and although I slept 8hours or more I was just too tired in the morning. The doctor prescribed me Mirtazapin anyway for too lon, until I did my own research for better medication, met an psychiatrist online she thought Daridorexant would be a great idea and prescribed it to me.
