I used to take zopiclone, 1mg lorazepam, and Seroquel and I still wasn't getting enough sleep.
I was getting like 4-5 hours a night until I added magnesium citrate supplementation (~200mg BID, no calcium), 100mg B6 and ~250mg niacin every night along with Seroquel and Remeron. Adding the supplements allowed me to reduce Seroquel from 100 to 50mg. I dropped the zopliclone and the lorazepam. I also had to find the right level of niacin. Any more and I am too sedated the next day. The magnesium provides mood stabilizing and anti-anxiety functions as well as augmenting the antidepressants. I found that lithium, even at 400mg, was exacerbating anxiety and sleeplessness.I know it sounds mild, but magnesium has a profound effect (on me). Give it a try.
