> Hello All,
>
> Over the past couple of years I have had insomnia to the point that I just don't try to sleep. No, but really it seems that way. I have tried several medications.
>
>
> Ambien 10mg; Seroquel 25mg-100mg; Halcion .125mg-.50mg; Restoril 30mg; Rozerem 8mg; Lunesta 3mg and several different benzodiazepines.

> Nothing works for me and I am wanting suggestions on insomnia medications I can suggest to my pdoc on Tuesday. Any suggestions?
>Ambien works for me but I take 25-30 mg. My pdoc freaked a bit when I told him, but one night I took 10mg and waited an hour, then another 10mg and waited an hour, then 5 or 10 more (it was a long time ago). Now I don't mess around, I take 20-30mg to start, depending on how wired up I feel.
Same with my benzo (Klonopin) and Lunesta-- I take 2.5 to 3 times the suggested dosage. But I try not to take Klonopin more than twice a week. Well, I don't try, I plain don't take it more than that, as I have an addictive personality.
Speaking of which, 30mg of Ambien can actually get you a bit high, LOL. Don't tell anyone. If the gov't finds out it is pleasant, they'll ban it. They don't like you to take drugs that make you feel better.
