It's just ridiculous. I wonder if there has ever been someone so refractory to sleep meds that they just never really slept again?
So, I guess it sounds like adding Thorazine is next. I am not hopeful. More to follow.

Hi bpcyclist. Are you still taking Provigil? The only times I was trialed on that was when I had hypersomnia, and not insomnia. It worked great for ending my hypersomnia, but went too far in the opposite direction. I was even psychotic manic once from it. What do you take it for, if you still take it?
I hope you find something to help with sleep. When I am really plagued by insomnia, I find adding prn Ativan to my 600 mg (or plus) Seroquel XR helpful. That combo usually gets me to sleep, but I do not want Ativan to ever become a regular part of my med cocktail again.
