anxiolytic benzodiazepines for insomnia

i have really ridiculous insomnia. some of you might know from my posts here that i take adderall, so before you say that's what's causing it, i have had this problem my entire life and have it right now though i haven't taken any in weeks. also, it's not affected by whether or not i drink caffeine or at what time i woke up.

i've tried lunesta and trazodone. neither worked, and both made me suicidal. lunesta gave me amnesia and made me do crazy shit. they lasted way too long, and defeated the purpose of taking them by making me as tired the next day as i would've been if i'd just stayed up.
i also take prozac for depression and anxiety.
i have tried everything i can think of to get myself to sleep at night. i just lay in bed for hours, no matter what.

a few times when i've been having really horrible anxiety attacks i've taken xanax, and within five minutes, i am dead asleep. i wake up rested and happy, with no lingering effects at all. even opiates don't help that much.

would my psychiatrist consider prescribing something like xanax or valium?
i'm really sick of missing days, and spending so much time alone in the dark.

thanks...

 

yeah he may prescribe u something like valium or xanax or some other benzo for sleep but dont you dare even utter any of the brand names of Benzo's or even benzos itself or the dr. will automatically think ur drug seeking...it seems like hes tried a lot of the other BS drugs they give u b4 they even think about prescribing benzos so just keep saying all that prozac/lunesta/trazadone shit just isnt working and u get really bad anxiety at night and cant go to sleep cuz of racing thoughts and stress' and shit...and you'll get some good benzo

 

thanks
