I've had no luck with trazadone, melatonin, and Rozeram (a prescription drug that works like melatonin, but stronger.) Benzos get me maybe two-three hours asleep, then I'm wide-awake again. I was prescribed gabapentin for bad pain (central pain) but a standard dose left me out cold for 48 hours (other than occasionally staggering to the bathroom as the room spun and I saw double.) Small doses of gabapentin don't have much effect on me -- the problem is, gabapentin takes *way* too long to wear off on me, possibility because of my severe liver disease. So, it either does nothing of keeps me flat out for days.
Zolpidem (Ambien) is the only thing that works for me. I have been trying and trying to see a psychiatrist so I can get an RX for it. Psychiatrists always agree that I really should be on Ambien, but getting in to see one in my area seems near-impossible. I do have some Zopiclone on hand right now, but it just doesn't work as well for me as Ambien. Last night, I took Zopiclone and went to sleep, but woke up less than three hours later.
