Summary
Kite 93023 had trouble sleeping, taking 3-4 hours to fall asleep and feeling wired. They took trazodone, flexiril and CBD and still slept badly; increasing trazodone brought night sweats and they had to change their clothes every few hours. They said they had just fixed theirs and it was a lot better, and later that dextromethorphan capsules helped their head pressure and brain strain.
