> Hey Sonya
>
> Sorry your suffering from insomnia
> It's a very annoying and depressing disorder, which I also have.
>
> I understand your concerns about becoming deppendent on Ambien, I take Zolpiderm occasionaly, but am also scared of deppendency.
>
> I had a horrible time with Trazadone, and I don't understand why its such a popular drug for insomnia.
>
> Fortunatly there are lots of other none deppendency forming options out there.
>
> Lunesta sounds like a good option, although I haven't tried it.
> My former favourite for insomnia is Remeron/Mirtazapine, it needs to be started at a very low dose, 7.5-15mg.
> For me Remeron was a good sleep med, it intially caused a bad hangover but this does diminish with time, it not only improves sleep but also sleep quality.
>
> I started off using Remeron as a sleep aid, but ended up using it as an AD.
> I quickly developed tollerance to its sedating effects when I took it on a continious basis, and it now doesn't work for me.
>
> Other options included the TCA Trimipramine, and Antipsychotics such as Seroquel.Seroqual an AP-will knock you the f*ck out, expect to come round lunch time the following day!!
