    I was waking up in the middle of the night to pee on spiro. Eventually I adapted to being able to fall asleep and my schedule at the time let me sleep in if I needed.

    Melatonin or Benadryl (for sleep) isn't bad but any sleep aid should be used only temporarily if possible.

      any sleep aid should be used only temporarily if possible.

      I would like to second this from personal experience

      Its different than just peeing though. I'm like totally wired when I wake up and just absolutely cannot fall back to sleep.

        It's not a typical side effect from spiro, in fact some people get fatigued.

        Anything else changed in your life? Anything like a new SSRI, SNRI that can make you tired but wired? Anything particularly stressful any changes at work/home life? I mean, obviously there's the transition part lol.

          No the only change I've had is Spiro :/ overall it's improved my quality of life but yeah it has also just wrecked my sleep schedule. But I'm trying multiple things cause it's been so so good for me

        Were you on cyproterone acetate before? Was wondering if this is the depressive effect coming off...

        Right I think you were on monotherapy before, mb
