Tried Trazodone for sleep, just desiccated my mouth and didnt help much, neither did Elavil or Remeron. Seems sedation does equate to sleep with me. Are there any alternatives to klonopin, besides other benzo's and sedating ADs?

I have had insomnia on and off for a while due to Parnate. This is a simple answer but it sure worked for me. Doc told me ok to take klonopin (already take) and 6mg of Malatonin. I take it 30 minutes before bed. Hope that helps.
