Zonked,
Is awakening during the night a problem as well as maintaining deep sleep?
Lunesta worked for awhile, but I found it gave me the most hangover out of the z meds. However it's popular and did work for a few years for me.
I'm hoping that the CR of ambien will be your ticket. With my pdoc's supervision I have taken it with tenazepam w/o incident. Both meds do give me a hangover, but no sleep is worst of all :-)
Right now I am able to sleep on gabapentin and tenazepam as needed. The gabapentin seems to lengthen my sleep time and improve the quality (in that when I am asleep, I am not aware that I am sleeping :-/). I have no idea what it might do to sleep architecture.
Good luck getting the sleep piece in place!
I dig a pony.
