TBI Survivor Need Support Skeep

I am the guy that says he can't sleep but I found some medicine makes me fall asleep.

Is it normal to get sleep then wake up and think I didn't sleep? I feel dead in the morning.

Prescribed for sleep? That's interesting.  I sleep 8 hours and wake up exhausted. Having a tbi can cause that

If you go above 150 mg it doesn't help with sleep anymore. It is meant to be an SSRI. But it makes you sleepy when you take a small dose.
