Desperately need sleep.

I am very sleep deprived. I've had trouble sleeping for yrs. My Dr has me on Sinequan. Sinequan for sleep???? It isnt even helping the anxiety attacks let a long putting me to sleep. And everytime I go back for appt they just increase the dose.
Why cant they give me a real sleeping pill like Sonata??
I am very frustrated and getting pretty crabby cause Im soooo sleepy!! I dont even want to be around myself right now let along others.  :(

I use to be able to take ZzzQuil with my Rx and that worked for quite a while, but now it actually has the opposite affect-I get even less sleep!
I dont know of any other OTC meds to try.
Suggestions please???

Hey,
I took Seroquel for yrs for my anxiety and it worked quite well. But finally stopped working, I guess I built up a tolerance.
But it never put me out.

Ask your doctor about Seroquel...puts me out like a light, and stops my anxiety.  Good luck from another insomniac.
