For me personally, it's strange how none of these Benzos help with my sleep. I can take 2mg of Xanax and not feel anything besides a small relaxing feeling. I think it has to do with taking 60mg of Parnate. Even before I began taking small doses of Vyvanse and Adderall, it was still ineffective.
Part of it has to do with your body's own unique way of processing medications (the liver processes chemicals and a person's metabolism plays a role too). Some people may grow tolerant to Benzos while others may not. So I wouldn't worry too much and just let the medication do it's work.
I'm sure a lot of us know the frustration of trying to find the right sleep medication while dealing with depression or bipolar disorder at the same time.... not easy. But you seem resolute and I'm sure that will get you far.
