I have anxiety and sleep disorder. Doctor prescribed nexito plus tablet. For first 10-15 days I overslept (10 hrs a day), but thereafter I can't sleep more than 4 hours at night. But in afternoon/evening I feel extremely tired and go for a nap but end up sleeping 4 hours and wake up around midnight, still feeling tired. Wondering what suddenly changed and what's the problem? Male, 36.

The changes in your sleep pattern could be influenced by various factors, including the medication nexito plus, your anxiety, or other lifestyle factors. It's not uncommon for individuals to experience adjustments in sleep when starting a new medication. The initial oversleeping may have been a temporary side effect that your body needed to adjust to, but the subsequent difficulty in maintaining a consistent sleep schedule might be worth discussing with your doctor. It's essential to communicate these changes openly with your prescribing doctor, who can provide guidance on whether any adjustments to the medication are necessary. Additionally, the feelings of extreme tiredness in the afternoon/evening, leading to prolonged naps and waking up around midnight, may indicate disruptions in your circadian rhythm. This could be related to the medication or other factors. Considering the psychological aspect of your symptoms, involving a psychologist in your treatment plan could be beneficial. A psychologist can help explore any underlying psychological factors contributing to your anxiety and sleep difficulties, offering a more comprehensive approach to your mental well-being. I recommend scheduling an appointment with your prescribing doctor to discuss these changes in your sleep patterns and explore the possibility of involving a psychologist in your treatment plan. They can provide you with personalized guidance based on a thorough assessment of your situation.

If medicine does not suits you, you can consider cbt as a treatment option.
