Hi Scars-
Just wanted to say I tend to agree with you on this thread. I'm naturally thin (5'4, 100-105 lbs, 38 yo F) and certain meds (APs, Remeron, Neurontin, etc.) not only don't help me sleep, but make me gain 10-20% of my body weight within weeks.
I'm also like you with benzos, though years of use have given me a high tolerance. I was in a bad place recently, and literally laughed at the hospital pdocs who couldn't understand why IV Ativan (starting at 4mg) wouldn't put me out.
Anyway, I can't sleep either, but here and there, Trazadone has worked better than the others mentioned for me as well.
Good to hear you're sleeping. My next step is an elephant tranquilizer.
