Of all the different sleep medicines I have experienced zolpidem has been by for the best for myself as well. Sometimes though I get the same morning effects you mentioned and sometimes a tolerance is built up so I will switch to something else for a while. Smaller doses of seroquel and trazadone together have worked well for myself (falling asleep quickly, getting quality sleep time, and no bad morning effects usually as long as I have 8 hours to sleep). Everyone is different though!
Best wishes to you!
What would the serequel and traazadone dose be when combined to give good sleep. I have to try this combo. I’m so desperate for sleep

I feel your pain. I never get a good night sleep. I’m always building tolerance to one med or the next and when I do that, I’m doomed. I never get any good sleep. It freaking blows how I wake up as soon as the med leaves me. So sad. I will put a prayer up for both of us

I also have to mention that my tolerance is so high to zolp that it’s insane. The amount I needed to take was destroying my stomach not to mention the financial cost of needing so many pills. I’m not sure how people who take a lot of zolp are able to live normally without going to the bathroom every 5 min. My stomach was twisting and turning on it. I also had tolerance so just to sleep I would have to take so much. Serequel and trazadone did nothing for me. Serequel worked one night I think. The psych kept on upping my dose which did nothing. Just gave me tics. The tics went away as I stopped the serequel. Halcion works extremely well but tolerance builds so fast to that. I’m totally at a loss as to what to do. I just need prayers at this point because I mentally can’t take this torture anymore. My life is a nightmare. I’m sorry for just venting here in this thread. I have nobody else to talk to other than my psychiatrist who I see on a bi weekly basis but all he does is prescribe me meds that I already have tolerance to now.

It sounds like u are going through quite a lot wannabenormal.
Research and seek a new doctor if need be. Good luck. It is difficult for so many of us now.

Good sleeping habits are hard to put into practice but have been a lifesaver for me. All screens (tv/phones) away an hour before bed. Blackout curtains (this made such a huge difference). As someone else said, no caffeine after midday. Comfortable clothing and bedding. TIDY ROOM!! A scented candle in the room and lavender oil gently sprayed on a pillow. Tense your muscles and relax them, starting from your toes and slowly working your way up to your neck. Of course Diaz/Zolpi etc are genius at getting you to sleep but the literature advises against using for prolonged periods of time, which in benzo and z-drugs case is deemed to be 2-4 weeks. What goes up must come down, although there are no time limit on good habits.

I used to have massive anxiety on top of insomnia. Gradually with life changes my panic attacks have gotten better. But I still struggle immensely with insomnia. I feel like I have a defeatist attitude bc I will probably be on meds my whole life. Is that such a terrible thing?
RE: Effective sleeping pills - Richardg8092 - 10-08-2018
I'd like to mention how suburban noise is the enemy of sleep, too.
We live right on a very busy road - 3 lanes of traffic each way.
Traffic noise is ludicrous from the early morning. (As it is the afternoon/evening peak time - but we aren't trying to sleep then).
We have had the bedroom windows changed to thicker glass and also installed (supposedly) sound-reducing & light block-out curtain linings.
And yes - we have even tried old fashioned ear-plugs too. But none of these strategies have assisted in any meaningful way, really.
The only thing I am thankful for is that ambulance/police sirens and aircraft noise feature only very rarely in our sound landscape.
I turn off electronic gadgets and follow all the usual 'sleep hygiene' suggestions - but it has only been the b3nzo's that turn off my brain sufficiently to allow for long & restful sleep.

Halcion is an excellent one for sleep. I like Restoril too, but it's expensive! Doctor's rarely prescribe it, or anything else!
RE: Effective sleeping pills - MrFussbudget - 10-23-2018
I am in need of a non-SY backup. (The SY guys have been great--just so expensive!) I have found a couple of reputable vendors who have brands of Z0lp that I've never tried. (One of the brands has been warned here as often being fake.) I really miss having it, but I'm so wary of trying these brands I'm unfamiliar with. I have so many birds stuck since the summer. If there's a member here who has a recommendation for reputable z0lp vendor, please PM me! (***Do not post your recommendation!***)

I recently received. 6 days. Actually fastest ever. Blew me away.
RE: Effective sleeping pills - Jjbreans - 10-24-2018
Congrats, Andybones! That’s great news.
Don’t know how I did it but I went a little over the suggested 5 posts on my first day of joining the conversation yesterday. I guess I was a little giddy. And I couldn’t find a way to see # of posts until it jumped out at me today. Anyway, I’ll make it short today. (I think I’m going to find following part of rule #5 a little challenging - ‘get to the point!’).
Along with feeling a little glow of joy for Abones, I wanted to ask how you are doing, MrFussBudget. Did you get any rest last night?
