Trazadone is what I take, I find it puts me to sleep and I usually do stay alseep most of the night. Of course, I do have bad nights too.

There are various sleeping pills you can take but they are very addictive. They worked for me at the start then I got hooked on them and had to come off them.

i have been prescribed Lunesta but i don't like the side effects so i don't take it. i was also on clonidine to help with the nightmares and that seemed to help. when i can't fall asleep i take Benadryl.

I take Lunesta. It puts me to sleep and keeps me to sleep. REALLY sleepy. I mean the pill flat out knocks you out. I wake up in the middle of the night to use the restroom and I am tripping over myself because I am so doped up. I am falling alseep in the bathroom. I mean I get good sleep, but I feel so doped up on it. Then I'm so tired during the day. I sleep 9 plus hours and still need a nap. I wish something else would work for me.

This is my nightly cocktail Effexsor as it is easier on me at night. Clonazapam to calm me down. Temazepam to get me to sleep. Sandoz-Topiramate so I can get 4 hrs sleep. And Ranidtidine to ensure it doesn't come back up because of GERD. I have been on this for 4 years now with minor changes. Thank the man above the VA covers most of my Rx's. My morning cocktail is as bad if not worse

Xanax. 0.25 mg and that usually gives me a good nights sleep.

I take 1mg of klonopin, and I stay asleep all night.

I try to avoid perscribed meds so if I need to sleep but can't sleep for more than 6 hours I take 50 mg benadryl, and sleepytime extra tea/ valarian root. The combo gets me to sleep and I usually stay asleep unless the dreams get me.

Trazadone made my nightmares worse. I take klonipins during the day for anxiety, but at night I take 150mgs of seroquel. It knocks me out so cold that anybody around has wondered if I was alive or dead. The downfall...munchies within the 20-30 minutes it takes to kick in the sleepiness and that means weight gain.

Unisom. Works well for me. Lately my meds got me so sleepy I haven't needed it.

I take one .5 mg Klonopin and one 1 mg Ativan. Together they knock me out. Separately, they're useless, even if I use more of one. This way I take the lowest doses of both and get a consistent effect.

I am taking Seroquel 300mg at night...and it does NOT put me to sleep nor keep me asleep.

I have tried Benadryl with the Seroquel, and still doesn't work.

I have listened to a Sleep CD, and it worked 2 nights so far, but didn't the other 2 nights.

I go see my Pdoc on tues, and I definitely need to ask about something for sleep.

Yes, the Seroquel packs the pounds on. Wish I could get off of it, and find something else to hold my anxiety down.

I've tried Rozerem when I was taken off the Seroquel a few months ago...that did NOT work at all. Ended up having to go back on Seroquel b/c of anxiety.

Yeah, I am glad I am on pills which don't cause weight gain. It's nice plus they're actually EFFECTIVE. Can't be that! I'm gonna have to call myself "cured" by the end of the month if this keeps up. ;)

I take phenergan 25mg each night with a couple glasses of wine. Usually knocks me out enough that I wouldn't know if the roof caved in, but not sure if it makes nightmares worse. It may also be a different formulation in Australia, I don't know but its available OTC.

I should add with the phenergan to take it early in the evening or you could still be a bit dopey the next day.
