For insomnia I've tried Restoril, Ambien, Sonata, Lunesta and Vistaril. Actually 150mg (3 capsules)worked the best but I quickly developed tolerance. Ambien was by far the worse--didn't help at all. Sonata and Lunesta were about equally effective. Generally I'd be able to sleep within 1-2 hours after taking it but would be up again in another hour. Occasionally I'll take four or five Donnatals (prescribed for my Crohns' Disease) but am afraid to take too much because I'm not sure of the potential risks of Belladonna toxicity.
I've taken Soma before and it works great for muscle relaxation. I've also taken Remeron and Trazadone before for depression. Remeron was horrible--gained nearly 50 pounds. Trazadone made me feel like a zombie the next day. I've never taken anything that left me with a worse hangover than the 150mg of trazadone that was prescribed---worse than downing half a bottle of cheap tequila!
