Hi everyone,
I suffer with chronic insomnia, the main complaint being that I awake to early in the morning.
I have tried a whole host of sleep meds ranging from herbal, hypnotic and sedating antidepressants not with any real help.
Heres my list:
Cipralex: 30mg(no help with sleep at all)Trazodone:(weird dreams and several wake-ups thru night)
Remeron:(helps slightly but does,nt keep me asleep past 4-5 hours even at low doses of 15,7.5)
Ambien:(same as above)
Zopiclone:(same as above)
Lunesta: does the job for about 5 hours then wake up feeling like I have had worst unrefreshing sleep ever!)
Amitriptyline:(I only took this drug for about 3 days, it didnt even sedate me whatsoever-tried dosage from 50 then 75 then 100-nothing)
As you can probably imagine Im now feeling like a f*!@ing walking chemist and am still strugling with sleep maintenance.
Im interested in Benzo's but am scared Ill get addicted to them and tolerance issues ect, ect.
Is it possible I can mix tricyclics together like doxepin(which ive heard is very good for sleep probs) with say, remeron or trimipramine or all 3 together or is this dangerous?.
God Im really pissed off with this its driving me nuts!!!
Anyone with any advise on this problem or what things helped you out would be greatly appreciated
as im feeling really down in the dumps at the moment.
Thankx in advance
P.S
Im Male, 27
