Thanks, so what is section 28 of the coroners and justice act?

"Section 28"? Isn't that the now-repealed law which banned schools from teaching kids that it's okay to be gay etc?

What is happening on Friday that people are referring to? Sorry, haven't been fully keeping up with this

I have no such issue with citalopram

Honestly I don't generally have a problem with quality of sleep - the issue is falling asleep and, sometimes, staying asleep. Daridorexant eliminates both those issues. And of course, not being sleep deprived makes my brain work somewhat better.

Do you know about whether the local Formulary is going to approve it any time soon? I too am under the SW London Formulary.

I'm getting on really well with the daridorexant. Strongly recommend to anyone with sleep issues who can get it prescribed. And FWIW, my experience is that it *does* work as a rescue, I don't need to take it every night.

I appreciate that that’s what the marketing says, but I’ve yet to see a scientific/pharmacological/pharmacokinetic reason explaining why it would work like that.

I tried 25 mg daridorexant again a couple of nights ago and it had zero effect. Zero. So I’m inclined to think that the “effect” the first time was just one of those periods of high sleepiness that I sometimes get. I may try the 50 mg dose at some point.

Yeah it was in Macbeth - "sleep, that knits up the ravelled sleeve of care, sweet nature's balm"

Well, either it worked really well, or I’m in a phase where I was going to sleep really well anyway. (The latter is very plausible as I slept 17 hours on Monday before my mum woke me up.) It didn’t have any bad effects for me anyway. I do have some of the side effects listed as common in the...

I keep coming back because he prescribes the zopiclone which actually does help me with sleep

Dr Bansal wrote in his letter “I am certain this will be ideal for Sarah”. There’s a little bitch part of me that wants this to *not* work out, because I have gottten so fed up of his “certainty” over the years.

Well I have taken it for tonight so I’ll try to remember to let you know tomorrow how it goes

I got private prescription from Dr Bansal but it is expensive to get privately

Oh yeah I keep accidentally referring to it as deodorexant

I do take a lot of what Dr Bansal says with a strong helping of salt - he keeps trying to get me to try Abilify ffs!

And sorry, all I really meant (but didn’t communicate that clearly) was who told you. I’m guessing Dr Bansal.

Haven’t tried it yet. Might try it tonight if this rain keeps me awake. Bit nervous though.

How do you know that it’s well suited to ME?
