Can anyone recommend a good sleeping med aside from benzos/tranqs which are addictive? I'm on trazodone now as well as clonazepam. I'm also on prozac. I've been on prozac for almost 10 mos now. I was on 20 mg for ~ eight mos, but felt increasingly depressed, so a dr increased it to 40 mgs & added 25 mgs of trazodone. The trazodone doesn't really help me sleep (neither does the clonazepam). Unless I take 100 mgs of trazodone (which I can't do b/c I cannot tolerate the brutal side effects such as a morning zombie-like hangover effect, significantly blurred vision [especially @ night, which is not safe] major water retention, constipation & breaking out in hives), I do not sleep.

Lately, I cannot fall asleep until ~ 3 or 4 a.m. I try to get up @ 8 a.m. & stay up, but I feel so extremely tired that, even w/ coffee, I cannot stay up -- end up falling asleep until 1, 2 or even 3 p.m. I can't live like this anymore. I'm the most miserable person to be around.

Please, please, please respond w/ your suggestions -- I am going totally crazy.

Thank you.

P.S. : I do try to do physical exercise daily to help my sleep, but that doesn't seem to help either. !@#$%^&*(*
