Damn I didn’t know progesterone made you sleepy. Just another reason to get on it then😏 Is clonidine a sleep med?

Nice! I just use my antidepressant most of the time ngl cause that’s a side effect of it and doesn’t last until morning anymore. It’s not very potent but it helps. But I’ve used magnesium glycinate in the past too. The problem with that one is it just works SO WELL that I sleep for like 13 hours lmao. Just gotta find a lower dose I guess. And I’ll get on progesterone eventually too but you only take that like once a week I think so

On my way to get some magnesium glycinate!! And, I take progesterone daily but that’s part of my HRT regimen. Your experience may vary! Haha

Well I’m also a trans girl so I guess I’ll be taking it the same way probably lmao. I just thought it was once a week for some reason ig. Maybe it just varies person to person. Idk I’m still pretty early on hrt lol. And yea def get some it works super well. And unlike melatonin it doesn’t lose efficacy over time or fuck up your sleep hormones if you take too much. Just maybe find a lower dose than the target nature valley or smth bottle lol cause that’s the one I got and it was too much.

It’ll be perfect for me 😂 And, woohoo!! Progesterone helped my sleep to be a fair bit better but clonidine has made sure I can GET to sleep which is my biggest issue! Haha
