IIRC first generation antihistamines are not good for your brain when taken chronically in higher doses, I would definitely look into those effects.
CBN is a federally legal cannabinoid that is reportedly pretty good for sleep, not causing intoxication or interfering with REM like THC does.
I have not tried it, although I do regularly use THC (also not good for the brain) for sleep that, along with a meal, reliably gets me asleep very quickly, although unfortunately without noticeable dreams and with a distinct laziness in the morning, but with these negatives somewhat mitigated when magnesium l-threonate is added.
Oh, I'm definitely less sharp than I was ten years ago. I struggle with learning new info now. Unfortunately, $10 a month to sleep is affordable. I will look at CBN but CBD doesn't really move the needle much for other issues. I'll check it out all the same. Anything I can do to be rid of them would be great. I've got a prescription for sleep aids but without a job I don't have health insurance and thus cannot afford it. I don't qualify for low income programs, either, so I'm just screwed. Mess with my brain so I can function or be a zombie over half of my waking period.
Sorry that that’s the situation you’re dealing with. Yeah CBN seems to be about 2-3x that price, although there is a tincture[0] from harbor city hemp that contains 600 standard doses for $80, but that would be absurd to get without experiencing efficacy first. There’s a small chance a local smoke shop or hemp shop (will have more reliable/safe products than former) would have something for a better price. You’ve probably already done this, but pharmacies offer various discounts that you could ask about as well.

I do appreciate the information. I cannot afford the doctor's visit much less prescription even with a discount. This is what my country wants for me so I'll just deal until I am productive enough to deserve healthcare again.
