G-Man, I'd guess if the other stuff isn't working, Perc probably won't. Of course, everyone's different & drugs interact. ..also have to consider the GI issues w/ Perc
I had Percocet post-surgery, & was miserable w/ insomnia. I even managed complex distant driving & a job interview on Percocet, not that I should have.
I finally got some relief from a 5-month jag by going back on lithium & taking a melatonin & Theanine supplement 5 hr's before bed. --Also, regulating light (bright in the morning & dim the last hours before bed) helps. Sometimes getting out of bed & sleeping somewhere else works.
But, hopefully your doctor can help you with this bout of insomnia. It is the pits, but hopefully temporary. -Ceres
