The absolute best combination I have taken is the following (I have had severe chronic insomnia for years).
1) - Time released melatonin 3mg
2) - cyproheptadine (0.5mg)
3) - lorazepam
I take the meds in that order. Most often the lorazepam becomes unnecessary. Between these 3 you are getting:
benzodiazapine agonist
mealatonin agonist
h1 blockade
5-ht2a blockade
calcium channel blockade
(with very little else - all very good insomnia busting mechanisms. Cyprohepdatine is almost like an antipsychotic in nature. There is zero activation like with a TCA, but it still shares the calcium, hitamine and antiserotonin effects.
