Benadryl didn't maintain my sleep. I fall asleep like a rock. I just can't stay asleep all night. Combining it with meds didn't work, either. Nor did hydroxyzine do much for me.
Amitriptyline made me sleep, but the last time I tried it, I had severe daytime drowsiness and fatigue at only 5mg. It was actually the first med I tried for sleep many years ago and I tolerated 50mg way back then with no problem. I feel my HPA axis dysfunction has worsened since then.
Today, I didn't take any pregabalin in the daytime because my doctor didn't call in the 75mg dose for daytime use. Didn't get the unsteadiness, so I'm sure that's a pregabalin side effect. Sweated for 4-5 hours, though. Not fun in a warm climate, where I live.
Have you tried Remeron? Lunesta? Ambien CR?

> Thanks Cairo. I reduced my Traz to 200 mgs last night and didn't sleep at all. :( All well, I can handle the daytime sedation of Traz at higher doses. Have you ever tried Benadryl for sleep? I think tonight I'm going to try 50mgs Benadryl w/200mgs. of Traz. Take care.
