Over the last 10 years I've had times where I depended on medications to sleep and always weaned myself off because I was afraid of dependency. ATM I'm taking 1/4 of a 2.5 mg olanzapine plus an occasional lyrica 50 mg.

I switched from olanzapine to rexulti but rexult isn't sedating so still neeed a bit of o to sleep but I'm working my way off of it.

My problem these days is I can't wake up until shortly before it is time to go to sleep. I've been thinking of stimulants as a last resort but don't want to get dependent on those. Pills might be a quick fix but they might not be the best solution on the long term. I'm always torn about this too.

You can try to cut down on the marijuana slowly too, if that's an option.
