Did you try Ambien yet? I've been an insomniac all my life, as my father was, and it helps me. But you can't take it more than 3 times a week. I also take lithium, and, strangely enough, I don't get tired no matter how much sleep I miss. But, unfortunately, it made me gain 25 pounds. Good luck! I'm sending positive thoughts your way.

what kind of pills have you taken? do you think it could be something like anxiety? maybe an anxiety med could help. or have you ever tried natural melatonin?

Yea u name it, i have tried it.But i have not tried ambien.

Lavender is a good, natural sleep aid. I know when I used to wash my hands at night with lavender soap, it used to put me right out.

AMBIEN WAS A BUST FOR ME BUT I KEEP TRYING MEDS. NOW I AM ON TRAZADONE FOR THE 2ND TIME WE'LL SEE HOW THAT DOES.

rozerem worked for me when nothing else did.

I TAKE MY SLEEPING PILLS WITH TRAZADONE AND THE LAST FEW NIGHTS HAVE BEEN THE BEST EVER!

I'm wide awake too and have 3 hours of sleep and have to work tomorrow want to chat?

has your doctor tried you on rispedral yet? the side effect is sleep, and is used on ADHD kids for that reason and it seems to work well.

I have also tried numerous things: Ambien, Rozerem, Ampitriptyline, Nyquil, Tylenol PM, etc. etc.
I find that while all the above work for a period of time, nothing is long term. I suggest Melatonin. It's natural and has no harmful side effects. Also, chamomile tea, spraying my sheets with lavender spray, and a sound machine help me too.
