In reply to BAD Insomnia - need help desperately, posted by Angel Girl on June 23, 2002, at 23:42:58
Have you tried Remeron? 15mg or 30mg is usually VERY effective for insomnia.
Zyprexa is also an extremely effective sleep med.
Doxepin is very inexpensive, and works very well for insomina.
If you really need to get to sleep, any of those three would be effective.
> I have been dealing with insomnia now for at least 5 weeks. Well actually, I started having insomnia when I started Effexor XR last November but it's been under control until about 5 weeks ago. I have tried several sleeping meds all to no avail.

> I need something that is STRONG enough to knock me out immediately and then wear off quickly. No matter what I've been taking now, I'm still awake until about 5:30am and then I find I can't stay awake the following day. It's a neverending viscious cycle that I need to get under control asap.
