Sleep disturbances

I have been using rapamycin for a few months now. The first month, everything seemed ok. But then my sleep started to get disturbed. I’d be up in the middle of the night, mind racing. I’m told this is very rare and that I need to do a bunch of things to mitigate the disturbance. I’d rather just stop taking the medicine. Have you experienced anything like this? My sleep was just about perfect before I started. I even waited to clear my system and my sleep returned to normal, but then with the next dose (only 2mg), my sleep was disturbed once again.

Week 6 for me - last two weeks yes! Despite trained mind to let thoughts go, Bose sleep buds, meditation etc Same issue. Example: last night up three times between 10 and 2 - at 2:20 wide awake like mid day - so had some cashews and another snack and went finally to sleep.

Same thoughts on - why add something just take out the culprit ( rapa)

I am about to start but already working hard on my sleep. I hope yo not have this issue. What dose are you on?

I started with 4mg every 10 days and was fine for about a month. Then my sleep was severely disrupted. I then went off for 14 days to clear my system and sleep returned to normal, so we tried to titrate up. I tood 2mg and sleep was disturbed again. I won’t take any more.

The good news, I suppose, is that if your sleep is disturbed, it’s temporary. I’m told it is an extremely rare occurrence. Good luck!

I will not take any more. Why live longer if I’m just going to be grumpy all the time? :slight_smile:
