I've taken up to 30 mg s already. but the dose keeps needed increased more and more the higher I raise it.
I don't do this every night but here's what happens. I take 15 mgs and lay down. then 3 or 4 hours later I'll still be awake so I'll take 15 mgs more.
Is that bad? Any one know?
I also still take ativan but no other sleep pills.
I"m a mess.

Can you talk to your doc about an alternative to ativan? It never really put me out but klonopin does. I'm sorry your struggling :(
Yeah ativan does not make me tired in the least and neither does melatonin but it will put me to sleep if I lay down and try to sleep. Usually it takes me an hour to fall asleep.
if it takes longer than an hour I will go take 15 more milligrams and that usually does the trick. I feel fine on it.
I remember when I first took ambien I was asleep in like five minuets.
I've never really felt drowsy on any of them though until I wake up the next morning and my butt is dragging.
