In reply to Xanax instead of Ativan for Sleep? » Elizabeth, posted by fachad on April 8, 2002, at 9:26:41
> I'd thought of that, but I'm afraid my pdoc will become upset with me if I ask for Xanax. Isn't asking for Xanax a hugely taboo thing to do?
I don't think so, but some pdocs might. I've never had a problem with it, though, and I need fairly large doses (1-2 mg, on average closer to 2 than 1). (I just seem to have a natural resistance to benzos, or something. Ambien too.)
Why not just ask for "something that doesn't last as long?" Whatever you get will probably be worth a try. (You've already tried temazepam, right? That's the only benzo that I think really *isn't* worth a try -- it seems like practically everybody I've talked to about it says that it didn't do much.)
Good luck and sweet dreams!
