Dude I am the sleep med king on here. I have been on everything.... Ambien worked the best for me and then I started abusing it. I would take 3 or 4 of them and make myself stay awake to get a funny feeling from them and to hallucinate. I hated Lunesta because of the taste. Trazidone worked for me when I was younger but not now. Ive tried all kinds of OTC stuff and they dont work. I started doing some real crazy shit while I was on ambien. A few people on here know what I mean. Like having weird chats over PM's or on yahoo and not remembering... So I came off of Ambien on my own because I got scared of what might happen... My combo that had been working was 1mg xanax 20mg ambien and 600mg of Seroquill.... Seroquill is some powerful shit. So now I just take the xanax and seroquill. Im sure that I could sleep on less than 600mg but my doc says that 600 is the dose that I need to be on for my Manic side
I would say if I had to choose the lesser of all evils I would go with Trzidone if it still worked for me. But People keep telling me that I need to find out why im not sleeping and its not healthy to be on sleep meds for years at a time.... I know why I dont sleep... Its because I get very manic at night and I dont know why
