* the benzodiazepines (oxazepam, diazepam and clonazepam) I have tried have been great for sleep onset but do not keep the nightmares at bay. However, they are the single most effective means of allaying the distress once the damage has been done. Nitrazepam made me sleep like a baby but its less beneficial effects would persist way into the day.
Interesting you mentioned mogadon (nitrazepam) I've had 1 pdoc and 2 GP's quiz me throughly about it's nightmare inducing side effects. It's meant to be one of the worst drugs for nightmares, but I never found they ever got any worse from it for me personally. It never made my nightmares any worse and the doctors found that really strange. I still think it's the best sleeping pill on the market. Maybe you could try taking half (2.5mg) You do get use to the next day, a strong coffee and hot shower does the trick for me. Good luck. C.
You must not be in the US, it's not available there, I have no idea why, it's such a good sleeping pill.
Please look into having a sleep study done
