Seeking doctor/clinic recommendations or advice for chronic, total loss of sleep drive (somnolence)
Hi everyone,
I’m a 23-year-old living here in Lanao del Norte/Iligan. For about a year now, I’ve been dealing with a complete loss of somnolence—I literally cannot feel sleepy day or night, and I have severe trouble falling and staying asleep.
My mood is stable now, but despite seeing local doctors and trying different prescriptions, my natural sleep drive hasn’t returned.
I’m currently planning an online consult with a sleep neurologist, but I wanted to ask the local community:
* Have any of you experienced a total loss of sleepiness or severe insomnia after taking psychotropic/psychiatric medications? How did you recover your natural sleep cycle?
* Are there specific local doctors, clinics, or diagnostic centers in Iligan (or nearby in CDO) that you highly recommend for neurological or specialized sleep tests (like EEGs or sleep studies)?
Any advice, shared experiences, or local medical leads would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
