Why I Don’t Fall Asleep Easily On Some Days Not Always?

Posted on Wed, 12 Feb 2025

Question: Hello , I have two mild issues . Number one I don’t fall asleep easily on some days not always but sometime I just don’t feel sleepy & keep awake all night . This is not due to any stress or worry . For this I have tried alprazolam 0.25 or 0.5. Recently I tried dorimcum 7.5mg half tablet.

Second issue is recently I started to experience ED . Most of time I can get hard easily but sometime it gives no response. I have no stress due to this problem as well . I’m 37 in age & living nice active life . No Blood pressure , diabetes or cholesterol.
Please advise.

Brief Answer:
ED caused by drugs you are taking.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

The problems you are facing related to erectile dysfunction may be caused by using alprazolam and dormicum.
It can be a side effect of the medications you are taking.
The ED problems may vanish and you will be back to your normal self as you wean off them.
You may use melatonin for your sleep and stop using the drugs you are taking.
Melatonin will improve your sleep and will not cause ED as a side effect.

Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Thanks.
