I've tried temazepam and a couple others. They either don't keep my asleep all night, or make me too tired in the morning. When I first started them, I was working at 3:30am and had to get up by 2:30 to get ready. I was going to sleep at 8pm, and just taking my Geodon at 5:30pm was enough to get me tired. Ambien gave me crazy dreams and hallucinations. I don't really mind Lunesta, but it's too expensive, even with a coupon I found.
I also don't know if I'm on my way to mania and that is completely throwing out every effort I'm making to try and get some sleep.
