ombrétwilight, I hear you. I may have lucked out with my GP. I will admit that I don't have any attempts as you say you do. That may be the difference. I have found that it has been much easier to get a sleeping med from my pdocs over the years. You might want to shop for a pdoc who will have the mind to consider all of your mental diagnoses. I find pdocs more open to sleep issues. I hope you find a good doc to help you.
