Clorixipam one day and then ambien the next day. Nothing seems to work.

I have been on seroquel for years but had to reduce for other medical issues...so I only take half the smallest dosage 25mg as lifelong maintenance since I was unable to come off it completely. If I don’t take that tiny amount I will not sleep! But I also have ambien, which I take only as needed. If my brain feels wired at 11pm I go ahead and take one.

I also take a small dosage of lamictal, and can only take it in the morning. If I take the 2nd pill at 6pm or later , I can’t sleep.

In the past, Latuda made me too wired to sleep.

I think the times you take meds makes a big difference.

Best wishes with the sleep. It’s hard - I know.

clonazepam never works for me. I have .5mg and also 1mg tablets. I take 4, nothing. Maybe someone has something else that I could try (over the counter) .

I’ve been taking sonata for years at 10mgs before bed. I was just recently upped to 20mgs because I wasn’t sleeping anymore. I took it for the first time last night and I did go to sleep finally. I woke up feeling ok...not too groggy or anything. It’s the only sleeping medication that has put me to sleep and didn’t wake up feeling like I was in daze or super groggy. Hope this helps.

Thanks for your feedback. I’m on a 21 day challenge for better health and am anxious I will slip up because of the seroquel sugar cravings. But I got through last night so only 20 days to go.

Seroquel works for me eventually the cravings die down a bit but talk to ur doc about it if it bothers you.

I take olanzapine and it also gives me cravings for Sweet Treats I just pretty much cut off and don't eat after dinner drinking a glass of water will help too sleep as well. I hope you can find the balance between getting enough sleep and getting over cravings for certain things

I’m on lithium, Zyprexa, and Zoloft. For sleep I take 50mg trazodone and 3-10mg melatonin every night. I have restless legs which are herring increasingly frequent. But the Trazodone and melatonin usually knock me out

I take doxepin for sleep. So far I haven't noticed any adverse side effects. However, I have noticed that it doesn't always work for me. I also take melatonin with it. Alone melatonin doesn't do anything for me but together they work wonders. If you add melatonin to your regimen then you need to give yourself a day or two of taking them to see how they affect you together. Keep in mind that melatonin is all natural and can be picked up anywhere that sells medication.
