Sleep has always been an issue for me as well. I've tried Ambien, Ambien CR, Lunesta and OTC sleep aids. And probably some others that I can not remember at the moment. I know my sleep issues coincide (right wording??) with my BP and other mental health issues. I was diagnosed with sleep apnea so my doctor adviced me to have my tonsils and adenoids removed but I am not sure if that even made a difference. I have had family, friends and ex's tell me that I do stop breathing in my sleep and end up gasping for air but I never even wake up realizing that happened unless someone tells me. I also have insomnia and can be up for days at a time.

I noticed that the less I sleep the worse my moods and symptoms are. Ambien didn't do much for me so I increased my dose myself and ended up hallucinating really bad. Ambien CR did nothing and Lunesta (I don't think it's available anymore.. or they changed the name of it or something) it was horrible. All it did was give me a nasty metallic taste in my mouth like I had slept with pennies or something in my mouth the whole night.

I started taking OTC sleep aids like generic unisom. However, to get that to even help me I am taking a greater amount that I will even tell my own doctor.

I am also still on Trazodone, however my pdoc lowered my dose from 400+ to 200.. so I can take it during the day and it won't even make me groggy anymore.

Don't give up though. It may time a while but you will eventually find something that at least helps you a little bit. Something is better than nothing. I mix and match sometimes.. like taking Unisom and drinking some sleepy time tea to help relax me and maybe a little melatonin. I can't really say if it's safe to mix certain sleep aids but it helps me every now and them. I have also tried Valerian Root capsules.

I hope you find something!
