After trying trazadone, ambien, restoril, remeron, elavil, or a mixture of those, I take Melatonin now. I take 3.5mg each night, with the option of more if needed. Great thing is that it is natural! One less prescription drug in my system. My pdoc says that I can take up to 12mg of it if I need to, the most I have taken is 5mg. I get the sublingual kind because it works faster and the bonus is that it is peppermint flavored.
