I safely and effectively used two different benzodiazepine to remediate total insomnia produced by combining Parnate + desipramine.
The deal was this: I needed something strong to induce sleep and something else to sleep through the night. My doctor chose Halcion and Ativan. Halcion is the strongest marketed benzodiazepine. It can put anyone to sleep. However, with its short half-life, there was a tendency for it to wear off early or even produce a rebound awakening. With its longer half-life, Ativan prevents rebound awakenings and promotes sleep through the remainder of the night, although it is not strong enough to induce sleep. Restoril can fill the same role as the Ativan. Sonata can perhaps substitute for Halcion.
