> What else is part of your rotating stacks?

Diphenhydramine, Hydroxyzine, Tizanidine, Mirtazapine, Phenibut, Kava, Indica.

I take Phenibut and Tizanidine together, 2x week max. Phenibut increases my REM sleep. Tizanidine helps me fall asleep but then wakes me up after 5hrs - and Phenibut counters that (keeps me asleep).

I rotate those two with Hydroxyzine. Staggering meds helps me keep my doses low. I generally take about half the prescribed dose.

Mirtazapine causes weight gain. I only take it when the insomnia is so bad it feels like sleep is broken.

Indica makes me miserable thru disassociation. That kills my tendency to chatter to myself. It also makes me sleepy.

Kava is hit or miss. But I'm trailing a new Kava extract that seems to work better.
