Yeah, I know it's the Fail but also in the Times (behind a paywall)

Sorry drug companies, the party is almost over...

@Dalint I should add I am under 55!

So they can prescribe it? I'm in England. Presumably the laws are the same across the UK?

It is available for over 55’s only, but a specialist could do it. You can also buy it from the US. I use Biovea. However it stopped working for me after about 6 months and is useless now.

There are AD’s that he’ll with sleep. Trazadone, Amitryptiline and Mirtazapine can all be prescribed for insomnia.

@Dalint I am in England and my GP prescribed it for sleep. I am a long way under 55.

I take 50mg of Trazodone at night for sleep. It is brilliant. Really good quality sleep. Waking up is fine too. Would recommend.
