Poll - How do you treat insomnia?

Posted by SLS on January 21, 2012, at 15:42:40

What have you found to be an effective treatment for insomnia?
--------------------------------
In the past, I have used combinations of benzodiazepines and Z-drugs. When I suffered from total insomnia produced by Parnate, I combined Halcion and Ativan. Doctors are afraid of Halcion now, but I think it has a place in treating severe initial insomnia. Ativan is not as good for treating initial insomnia, but is good at maintaining sleep once the Halcion has done its work to put you to sleep. Now, I use a combination of Sonata and Ativan when needed. Sonata puts me to sleep and Ativan keeps me asleep.
1. Short-acting for sleep initiation: Sonata, Halcion
2. Medium-acting for sleep maintenance: Ativan, Restoril
