I have actually been on Temazepam before (Restoril). I have a generally high tolerance to all benzos now. My neurologist felt that if medicines like Remeron and Trazodone exacerbated my depression, then so would the sedating tricyclics which share a somewhat similar mechanism of action on certain sites. Melatonin seems to worsen my mood during the daytime for some reason. Have any of you had experience with barbiturates? I assume there is probably cross-tolerance between them and benzos - and I realize they are rarely prescribed due to overdose potential. Also, is chloral hydrate known to worsen other conditions? Finally, do any of you have personal experience being on Xyrem (Sodium Oxybate)?
