rohypnol...was prescribed it as a teen...it knocks you out...is known as 'date rape drug' so I don't if its easily prescribed uk...ya sleep great though...even manic'

Ambien is like a sweet tart for me too. Good for just a bit, and then gone! I take Lithium 450mg and for sleep, Seroquel. Deep sleep minus dreams. Start with as low of a dose as possible or can cause mental "hangover" the next morn. Good Luck Pluck! Hugs~

Jeez, me on a date rape drug !!!



I've just heard someone doing Massive Attack's 'Teardrop' as a cover on the radio.
It's shit.REALLY SHIT !!
AAAGH !!

There is a product at the grocery or drug store called simply sleep and Mid-Nite. Thay have worked just as well as Lunesta and they only cost about 8 dollars.

Quick!!! Listen to the real one! Will make you feel better...xx

That's four pounds from a Pharmacy .

Palpitatititatatating !!

Seroquel. Just 25 mg knocks me for a loop, I know some people that take 250 mg. Depends on your tolerance. Not recommended though if Diabetes runs in your family.

i've just taken my 3rd ambien, xanax and klonopin...can't sleep, tis a spring thing..this should hopefully work.

OH man I can't stand it. I'm really sorry you're suffering Plucky :(

I had ambien only long enough to get on the old regular sleep pattern.

I think excercise during the day. Forcing yourself to get out of the bed at a certain time and going through the motions of a normal day until it becomes a patterned schedule.
I know how awful I feel when I'm not sleeping well. I get physically sick after something like that.
Hoping you find the answer here or that you call your doc.

I had to take a Zopiclone last night - knocked me out for 9 hours.

Zopiclone were the first ones I became immune to.He switched me to Zolpidem.
I don't want that comatose feeling in the day ahead.
Stilnoct ( Zolpidem, Ambien) were fine first but now they release me into dreams too quick.

300 mgs of Seroquel XR puts me to sleep in a few hours. Because it's timed release, I sleep like a baby for a good 10 hrs. No more waking up in the middle of the night and watching the clock.
However, if you want to go "natural" my son swears by Melatonin, which you can get at any pharmacy with the vitamins.

Pluck, that blows! I'm going through the same thing. I took Ambien for years, got up to about 25mg a night (2 & 1/2 of the 10mg) & that wasn't working, switched to Lunesta. Lunesta worked for about a month, I had to take 3 of the blue ones to fall asleep, the 3mg ones I believe they were. Anyway, they had a funky metallic taste & then pdoc said I was taking more than was safe, wouldn't prescribe anymore :( Then it was on to Seroquel, which I take now (100mg along with 1mg of Ativan) & I was still up until 4 am this morning & only slept off & on for 3.5 hours at best. And that's the most I have slept in days!!! Oh, I also took 2 maximum strength OTC Unisom.

Are we just destined for an entire life of insomnia or what??? I have not slept 'natural' in so many years, I honestly can't even remember the last time I did.
