My pdoc won't put me on sleeping pills because of my history of alcoholism and addictive personality. He's okay with Klonopin at a very low dose, and of course the Geodon and Zyprexa help with sleep too. Otherwise I'd probably never sleep more than 3-4 hours a night and be manic as hell. I used to be a champion sleeper, but no more.....as I've aged, sleep has become more and more problematic. I guess it comes along with the territory, but it sure messes with my head when I don't sleep well.
