Here's what I have tried for insomnia. All of them - especially the benzos - started out working well, but pooped out after a week:
BENZOS
Halcion
Restoril
Dalmane
Serax
Ativan
Valium
Klonopin
Xanax
Librium
DoralSEMI-BENZOS
Ambien
Sonata ( never worked at all)Barbituates
NembutalANTIHISTAMINES
Benedryl
Atarax (Vistaril)ANTIDEPRESSANTS
Remeron (too much weight gain)
Amitriptyline
Serzone
TrazodoneANTI-PSYCHOTICS
Seroquel (works well, but too much hangover and weight gain)MISC
Neurontin
Tegretol
Clonidine
Propoxyphene (opiate)
Valarian
Kava Kava
5-HTP
Chloral Hydrate (doesn't seem to be working)I also practice good "sleep hygiene" listen to music, walk, no caffeine, audio books, etc.
So as you can probably tell my insomnia is very tough. I'm going to contact my pdoc as soon as I can and see if he can find a pharamcy that dispenses it - or can order it - and if not then perhaps Seconal?
