    i have taken lunesta, trazodone, lunesta again, sonata, and ativan. none work.
    i need something that will knock me out, that i could not stay awake through if i tried.
    i absolutely will not take any antpsychotic or anticonvulsant or mood stabilizer.
    is there anything else i can try to get? my insomnia is driving me insane and nothing is working. :(
    i could probably get xanax of valium. if ativan didn't work i don't think they would...should i try them?
    would a psychiatrist EVER prescribe something like an opiate? my insomnia is really fucking up my whole life, and it's awful to take your dose or double or three times your dose of sleeping pills, and then sit up all night wanting to sleep. then you wake up the next day at 3pm and it's already to late to make anything of the day.... it sucks.

    I think 300mg of seroquel will probably work for you.

    Try restoril (temazepam). Its a benzodiazepine like valium or xanax, but it is mainly prescribed for insomnia. It works great in my experience, give it a try (in other words: ask your doctor).

    You could also try ambien. It works extremely well for me as well.

    I'm the exact same way. The only thing that works for me is 75mg Benadryl + 20mg Ambien. Of course you won't need that much Ambien since you haven't taken it, probably 10mg will be enough.

    Valerian root works in my opinion better than any prescription drug I have ever taken. Or weed works very well also.

    Try a low dose of diphenhydramine if you haven't already, works pretty well anytime I can't get to sleep.

    Ativan should work. Have your doc increase the dosage. Of course, I don't recommend this: a glass of a good white wine to wash down the pill.
