Hey all,
I have trouble sleeping, and high cortisol, high estrogen, etc. I likely need progesterone which would also help with sleep, but I'm not sure I can handle it metabolically yet.
Have taken 7.5 mg of Mirt since June. I think it is raising adrenaline. I know it works on different receptors at different doses, and that my current dose is typically only used for sleep.
I would like to try to transition to cyproheptadine and am not sure how to go about it. I know the half life of Mirt is much longer, but that they work on some of the same receptors and that there may be cross tolerance. I hope to sleep well on my own at some point and am working on diet, thyroid, light, etc.
I can get to sleep, but have trouble staying asleep.
Thoughts would be greatly appreciated. How to cycle off one and start the other? Do I have to taper or are they similar enough that i can transition from one to another more quickly?
