Hi....well my first concern is, if the benzos aren't working alone, could or have you tried a good sleeping antidepressant? If you still have problems, you can add a low dose of an atypical antipsychotic, but to avoid further depression, I would suggest taking an antidepressant with the combo. Low dose Remeron may be good...combined with an atypical antipsychotic *if* the Remeron doesn't do it alone. Just a note...that you may feel quite cruddy for a few weeks until your system adjusts, but stick with the meds, and you will adapt. And man, what a GREAT feeling it is once you get some balance. You could also try a tricyclic a.d., but remember again it is going to take time. These meds will work *with* your benzos, but it really takes time to find that delicate balance.

Best wishes,
Jay
