I cannot sleep for more than about 3 hours at a time. I don't have any manic signs except my mind is racing when I go to bed and I think of everything I could of, should of, need to do, what's not going right... obsessive thinking about these things. This has been going on for weeks. It's frustrating and I'm irritable.

My psychiatrist gave me 5mg of valium last week but I've been taking it and it's not working. I used to take 15mg to sleep a few years back so I think I have a tolerance. Klonopin doesn't work, ativan doesn't work and none of the sleep meds like ambein or lunesta... none of those work. Trazadone makes me have nightmares and throw up.

I walk in my room now and see my bed and am immediately upset and frustrated because I know I am not going to be able to sleep.

I don't know what to do. I am thinking about asking for Gabapentin. I'm desperate. Does anyone take it for sleep and how much do you take for it to be effective?

Thanks for reading.
