You are all correct, the doc (who is just my GP, not a psychiatrist) only prescribed the dormonoct for 15 days to see if there was a difference with the Ivedal. I presume to carry on with the Ivedal at the end of the 15 days or change to dormonoct. Neither of which, as I've said, work on their own.

It is an in-house pharmacy - part of the doctor's practice. I do intend to tell him the truth. Only two things can happen - he allows it to continue. Or he stops me. But for 3 nights now, I've slept more than it feels like I have in years. And I'm up at 5am to do family lunches and although I feel like a zombie for about 5 minutes, I'm fine after that.

I am on Trepeline for the slow wave sleep sunnydisposition mentioned. It is inexpensive so I've taken it for years. Whether it works or not, I don't know. I suggested it to my Mom's doctor who then prescribed a low dosage for her and it has worked wonders for her in the last 3 nights.
