Okay, I really need some help here! I've had horrible insomnia my whole life. I can't fall asleep, but once I do I typically sleep through the night. I've never been prescribed sleep meds, as I've always relied on benzos for sleep. I'm off those now, so there's not much I can do. I've tried my friend's Ambien, from 10mg to 30mg, with negligible effects. I know some people who can take 5mg and they're out like a light. Melatonin and Benedryl work, but only for so long. I'll just lay in bed, tossing and turning all night. It's 5:30 in the morning and I haven't slept a wink.
