I have had trouble falling asleep for the past 10 years! Only ambien has helped. Will this really help me?
So now I am on Wellbytrin 100mg 3x day, Zolft 100mg 1x, Seroquel 50mg (for now) 1x and Xanax .5 PRN.

ambient does nothing but put me to sleep but i can't stay asleep on it and it never stops the ruminating racing thoughts. i take 1/2 50mg. seroquel nightly and it gives me the deepest sleep ever with vivid dreams. only issue is it takes about an hr. for me to wake up but consistent nightly sleep is my tradeoff for the grogginess. i work out daily (have done so for 30 yrs.) and eat small portions and never gained weight on seroquel..in fact have dropped from 125 lb. to 97 lb. try it and if it doesn't work, search for an alternative. melatonin, benadryl, etc. have done nothing for me, esp. calming the racing thoughts.
