I take 4mg of Diazapam every night for sleep. It works very well for me. I am a very high energy person. I also take 100mg of Zoloft daily. I have tried many herbal remedies such as St. Johns wort, and sooooo many others because I had an aversion to taking drugs and I did not want to be one of those "weak ones" that need drugs to function.
My condition got progressivly worse over a period of 10 years until I finally relented to my doctor of 20 years and started taking meds 6 weeks ago. Since then I have not had any problems and I sleep like a baby with no side effects.

Just as an aside, my doctor is surprised that i have continued to lose weight (down 4 lbs) even though Zoloft has been reported to increase appitite. Today I asked him if I could buy an elliptical machine for exercise. He said most definitely YES
I can say that have not felt this good in a long time and I am glad I finally followed the advice of my doc.

He just renewed my 'scripts for a 1 year period.

Good luck with your situation.
