> I have taken diphenhydramine or Benadryl for occasional insomnia. It worked well for me, and did not leave me with a hangover in the morning like benzo's do. However, the problem is what is causing the marked insomnia. Usually, this is caused by anxiety, depression or CNS diseases/dysfunctions. Also, once one weans off sleeping meds, many times your brain has to learn sleeping cycles again becaused they have been inactivated by the drugs for so long. Also, many of the old tricyclic antidepressants taken at night will help you sleep soundly.yes, but not after benzos...tricyclic antidepressants will work for people not aquianted with benzos, but if you are, they don't seem to have any effect at all for sleep. don't know about after ambien though...
