zinco, I don't have any great answers and I'm sure not trying to be anything but helpful with regard to your sleep issues. I've been given lunesta, ambien, and the other similar one (can't recall the name - another "thank you" to benzos for causing severe cognitive/memory probs for me) - I've had severe sleep issues for nearly 30 years. I take Seroquel and Remeron at this time and they help me sleep. The k-pin no longer makes me sleepy. Hey, if benzos work for you GREAT. I'm not here to argue with anybody. I am a strong believer in the power of psych meds because without them I wouldn't be alive. But mental illness and the drugs used to treat my mental illness have most definitely robbed me of major pieces of life. I've been at this game of trying to combat my mental illness for over half a century. Forgive me if I'm a little worn down. When I hear someone in their 20';s, 30's., even 40's talk about how amazing benzos are I can't help but worry and warn. What good is experience if I don't share it? But, whatever. We all do what we have to do to get through and, hopefully, to have some decent quality of life.
