I can't tolerate benzos (rebound depression), Gabapentin (increased depression), or Seroquel (restless leg syndrome) and I grow tolerant to anti-histamines very quickly (within a matter of days), so that doesn't seem to leave too many options .. unless I look into a long-acting benzo like Klonopin (the half-life of which might help mitigate next-day withdrawal issues), or, as I've mentioned, clonidine, though the reports in the archive don't seem too favorable.
Do you find that Prazosin helps with sleep-onset at all?
