Hi CareBear04, there is a new- supposedly non-benzo related - sleep aid called eszopiclone(sp)
Estorra is brand name- it is supposed to have a longer half life than Ambien and Sonota. I do know that this is not a totally new drug and it will most likely be approved by years end. Also yet to be licsenced, Pragabalin which is going to have several indications- purportedly- neuropathic pain, 'social phobia' generalized anxiety disorder and some other indications as well. I would assume that it should have some sleep inducing properties.Do a search on web for these two names and see what you find. I am desperate , as well as many others are for not neccessarily stronger meds but more effective meds for chronic conditions of GAD,Insomnia, SP, etc I seriously hope that these new meds are not just newer versions of Neurontin and the other "sleep meds"-- time will tell!!
