Hi there,
Yes, I've tried a number of sedating antihistamines -- Atarax, Vistaril, Optimine, Codimal, Chlor-Trimeton, Tavist, Periactin, Phenergan, Alleract... and some others I'm sure I've forgotten. I've tried Remeron several times -- the first time it worked for a few weeks; it didn't do a thing any other time I've tried it. Same goes for Elavil and a host of other sedating antidepressants. Of course I've tried Ambien, Sonata, Imovane, Rohypnol, Dalmane, Doral, and ProSom. Xyrem works wonderfully for me, but I can't afford it.
I suppose it's nothing to worry about though -- now that I know my doctor can call in an emergency supply of Seconal, I'll just call him up when his office opens. Seconal, Amytal, Nembutal, and Tuinal are the only things that really work when I'm having serious trouble sleeping. The chloral hydrate helps for less severe insomnia.
