I was prescribed Remeron many years ago after a panic attack (antidepressant which causes sedation in very low dosage). I slept like a rock but was in a fog during the day which didn't lift so I stopped taking it, I've had insomnia now for 8 years. Part of it is anxiety, part is getting to a certain age I think as many middle age peers also have insomnia issues.

I have tried every supplement and herbal remedy. OTC like Benadryl, melatonin, amino acids, valerian root, etc. I currently take Ambien 10 mg. and Trazadone 100 mg. This helps me fall asleep but after a few hours I wake multiple times the rest of the night. Makes me miss the Remeron days! My sister takes Xanax with a little wine. Surely nothing worse than not sleeping well...
