SLEEP NEEDED!

Posted by stalwart on July 16, 2004, at 4:15:13

i HAVE NOT SLEPT THROUGH THE NIGHT FOR AT LEAST 6 MONTHS.

I am having a hard time using Xanax XR.

I take 1.0 XR in the AM.....and .5 XR around 9-10pm. I am awake hourly!

In the past, I was taking between 6-10mg of Valium at bedtime but eventually was not sleeping through the night and a waking like a zombie.

Recently, my pdoc prescribed Ambien which works to a small degree but leaves me waking and feeling like I need a coffee I.V.(perhaps the Xanax XR does not go well with the Ambien). Sonata is the same.

Basically, I am seeking some anecdotal accounts of med(s) for sleep but that also allow one to wake in the AM and be a productive employee at work.

My pdoc doesn't quite understand that being alert and fully functioning in the AM is as important to me as the absence of sexual side-effects for many of his non-compliant patients.

I am wondering if Restoril would be better and back off the last dose of Xanax XR.
