Hi to all!!
Need to find something to help me sleep. Any ideas you might have would be greatly appreciated.
Here's what I have already tried:
Everything homeopathic including melatonin and other combination of sleep herbs. Doesn't put a dent in insomnia.
Ambien - had bad side effects. Haven't tried Lunesta, but if its anything like what I experienced with Ambien, then no. If you have had good experiences with Lunesta, please let me know.
Klonopin - doesn't work unless I take alot.
Seroquel - makes me sick with awful dreams. Gave me the worst headache for three days.
Trazodone - doesn't work. Same effects as Seroquel.
Remeron - doesn't knock me out, just makes me tired and I am using small doses to get me through the days until I get back into seeing pdoc.
Right now I have to take 200 mgs. of zanax for sleep. Seems like alot to me and don't want to become tolerant to it, as it has always been a good back up when I get anxietal. So I have quit taking it during the day (would only take .50 if needed).Will be starting Marplan in about two weeks and would still like to be able to use the zanax to tweak anxieties while on Marplan in hopes of gradually dropping the zanax at some point.
Ideas????
