I'm looking for same..I'm on seroquel 50

I take lunesta and i love it.

ambien is pretty good

I take klonipin to help me sleep.I know its spelt wrong....lol.But its the only thing that helps me get to sleep.Finally my doc found a medicine that helps me go to bed at a normal time and wake up at a normal time and feel rested.Before all the others made me feel sleepy and groggy still.Not this one.I'am in love for sure!!!!! :)

I take 50mg of trazodone for sleep. It is a LIFE saver. I've been on both lunesta and ambien and disliked both. Lunesta left me with a metallic taste in my mouth and my insurance didn't like ambien. I can get trazodone generic (yay 5 bucks!!) and it knocks me out in 15-20 minutes, if it doesn't, the doc gave me permission to take another! It doesn't leave me groggy in the morning or that sedated feeling. Plus it gives me some pretty interesting dreams. :-) Good luck! I know you wrote this a long time ago, I hope it reaches you.

OH! Trazodone is an old anti-depressant, but it doesn't really work for helping depression, just sleep.

I took trazodone also. Works great. I just took one, I'm waiting for it to start working :)

i take 2mg of ativan before bed, like an hour before.

benedryl also works.

I've tried lunesta, but it gives me a horrible metalic taste in my mouth the next day and i feel kind of hung over in the morning.

I use Klonopin sometimes - it helps, but i used it for a couple years for restless legs and i found it kind of made me depressed in the morning.

I would talk to my pdoc about Trazadone. It works for me.

I take 150mg of trazodone and it works pretty well. Good luck in your search for the right med.
