Sir and Ma'am,
Initially on Quitipin for multiple issues though low dose 50 helped a lot for sleep. Changed it due to side effects profile and was prescribed Dayvigo 5,though not as effective as Quitipin but it works. Issue is the price, is there any alternate to dayvigo with lesser price incase of budget constraints.Melatonin is a spam doesnt work at all. Any suggestions will be highly appreciated as my current psychiatrist is not willing to hear anything from me but he is indeed my guardian angel. Just for a second opinion. Regards to all.
