Dothiepin certainly sent me off to sleep but unfortunately made me tired 24/7.

Olanzapine made me tired initially but the tiredness wore off pretty quickly.

I found Zopiclone to be a good sleep drug but if your doctor is anti benzo he might be anti that too. The only side effect I got from it is a nasty taste in my mouth, I cant overstate just how evil the taste was!

Personally I would confront your dr about the anti benzo attitude. If you say you just want a sleep med for the short term til you can get your sleep pattern together s/he can hardly claim your outside the scope of the drug.

My dad find nitrazepam and temazepam to both be good sleep drugs though generally prefers zopiclone because he says the sleep feels more natural.

Hope this is some help, Bunny
