> Yeah, that's true about the YMMV rule--with any drug, that is. I'm super sensitive to antihistamines--I can't stand them.

Whereas I don't have much of a problem with them. But you're not alone: a lot of people feel crappy on antihistamines.

OTOH, trazodone is a good sleep med for a lot of people. It didn't do me much good, but I don't bash it in general.

Uhh...I dunno. (Somebody?)

Actually that was my pdoc's idea. It was pretty mediocre, and (like many sedative-hypnotics I've tried) it stopped working after a couple of days.

I'd try Placidyl (ethchlorvinyl), but I gather that they took it off the market. And it's impossible to get barbiturates these days. Ambien and Klonopin are about the best I've done.
