Special_K above was meant for you. But I also wanted to say that I too am a life long insomniac. I've had pdocs think they could make me sleep through the night without waking up at all. Last time I was in the hospital the pdoc was very young and quite ignoranat. He put me on chloral hydrate(used to put kids to sleep for surgery been around since the l800's) 20mg a lot!!!!! along with 50mg of seroquel which I had never taken before, with klonopin l mg, with xanax lmg. Quite a cocktail. Well as usual 4 hours later I was up they repeated 50mg of seroquel and four hours later when they tried to get me up my Blood pressure was so low I alsmost fainted they put me to bed gave me strong coffee not allowed on the unit and immediately discontinued the seroquel. I then got a new doc recomenneded by a neurologist when I got out a couple of days later he referred me to a pdoc quite elderly who wasn't afraid of benzos he said I had been on them too many years to go off of them . She used to have a website don't think it's there anymore She is wonderful she goes by how you fell listens to you has written numerous articles and reviewed for the Jornal of psyciatry. Last time I look she was gone But is you want name is Judith S. Yongue, MD PA. She put me back on l5mg of valium. We moved new pdos don't like him at all. Love Phillipa
