Sleeping meds that don't lead to tolerance?

Posted by jms600 on April 27, 2009, at 16:59:24

Can anyone recommend a sleeping drug which can be taken over a period of months and doesn't lead to tolerance or dependence? I'm currently taking Effexor 150mg and it seems to be causing terrible insomnia. I struggle to get to sleep and when I finally do fall asleep I keep waking up.

My doctor has given me some promazine, however it has a terrible hang-over effect. It also makes me very forgetful and the quality of sleep it induces isn't very good.

I looked at Lunesta (eszopiclone) but I think I will struggle to buy that over the net so it's not an option. Can't take benzos either as I have built up a tolerance to them due to using Valium for anxiety.

Along with the Effexor I'm also on 40mg buspirone and 600mg lithium so whatever I take it needs to be safe when taken with these.

Any ideas?
