Yes I am currently just taking melatonin. It def. makes me sleepy but not enough to get a full nights rest with it. I wake up many times tossing ang turning and feeling very sweaty. I am not sure how many milligrams of it i can take. I am currently taking 3mg every night with .5mg or Klonopin. Maybe I can take more melatonin?
Thanks for the advice...i also had bad experience with ambien...vomitting and nausea. I am going to my doctor today to see what else she can give me...i will ask her about the ativan.
Have you tried Melatonin? My son takes that occassionally and I too have found it to be effective.
Sometimes I take 2-3 benadryls or over the counter sleep aids to help me sleep. It's not a prescription, it's inexpensive, and it helps me sleep.
I know what you are going though I have very insomnia also but only just recently I used to be able to sleep very well without any medications. I then started ativan 1mg and was able to relax enough to get to sleep I took that for four months with good results then boom I could not fall alseep with it anymore I developed a tolerence for it . I now started on Lunesta but I still have trouble falling asleep with that I am going to call my Dr and get a bigger dose its like my brain does not want to fall asleep. I never tried remeron, but ambien was horrible and so was resterol the taste of the lunesta that it leaves in your mouth is horrible so there is no easy answer but I did find the ativan did help for a while and I still take it with the lunesta and I agree if I get a good nights sleep the next day is much better.
