Does anyone have any experiences related to taking both Ambien and Restoril together? I have chronic insomnia and I have found that these two drugs compliment each other. Ambien gets me to sleep (even at 5 mg dose), while Restoril keeps me asleep.
Restoril alone does cause me to fall asleep but once I am asleep I remain asleep for almost the entire night. One pharmacist that I mentioned this discovery to (I tried this on my own after everything else failed)said she had heard of that combination being prescribed before; on the other hand, my family physician absolutely refused to prescribe both together, saying they were both benzodiazepines... which I understand is not correct. Any input will be appreciated. Thank you.
