> Insomnia is a biggie with me. There are some insomnia web sites. They have suggestions. But they tell you if it's more than a couple of weeks it may be something else (like depression????). But their "sleep hygiene" protocols aren't bad, e.g. use your bed only for sleeping and sex, exercise early in the day, not at night, etc, etc.
> Medicationwise, when I was on Serzone I slept well. It eventually pooped out. While on it I was given Ambien for the occasional times when things were on my mind and I needed something else to sleep. After the serzone, I went on Wellbutrin, which can be stimulating. So then I was told to use the ambien each night. The problem was that I could only get about 4 hours on it then I was up. Then I was given Klonipin instead of the Ambien, which I take at night, and I sleep pretty decently. It's not as good as it was the first 6 months, but it's a decent combination.

Thank you Jenny for your response. .5mg
to 1 mg of Xanax helps me to fall asleep,
but Xanax is so addicting; I cannot
take it every night. My doctor put me on
Zyprexa for sleep, but it doesn't do me
much good. What time do you usually
fall asleep at night? I'm just curious.

Klonopin kind of depresses me.

I'll check out the websites for insomnia.
Again, I appreciate your feedback to me
Thanks, Glenn
