Lunesta was okay, but the taste in my mouth was miserable.
Don't let them give you trazadone, that stuff SUCKS.
Sonata was cool, as I remember (it was one of the first ones I tried)... But my insurance didn't cover it.
Rozerem didn't do a thing - I woke up 14 times in one night on that stuff.
The anti-psychotics (like Seroquel) used off-label (or, really, second-on-the-list-on-the-label) will knock you on your ASS. You'll sleep, but... Ergh.
I had insomnia, and insomnia is a *****. Mine wasn't pain-induced... But, even so, sleeping pills never truly helped me get on a better schedule. That, and I ended up abusing the crap out of them to the point where when I'd run out of sleeping pills, I'd go buy OTC stuff that was twice as strong as Tylenol PM, open 8-10 caps, mix them with two ounces of juice, and knock myself out.
Bleh. Pills get the thumbs down from me. But I know they do help some people.
I hallucinated! Little wispy people peeled up my keyboard. It was kickass (aka - terrifying). I also slept through a psych final and hence flunked it. Yay Ambien!Originally Posted by Angelwing
I will be going to the Dr. next week. Anyone who has taken this before, what are your experiences?
