Hi Dan
>One Pdoc suggested that I might try a really short half-life benzo that I could take in the middle of the night with the thought that it would be out of my system by morning. Has anyone tried something like this? I forget the name and turned it down in favor of Lunesta.
Zaleplon (Sonata) can be taken when you wake up during the night. It's not a benzo, it's similar to Ambien but has a shorter duration of action.
>I can usually fall asleep but wake up (usally heart racing and burning up) after 6 hours. I have tried Ambien (wake up) , Remeron (sleep fot days and feel like Nyquil), Trazadone (groggy), Lunesta (wake up) and benzos (some effective).
How do you respond to sedating tricyclic antidepressants?
