raina726, let me tell you that diazepam is a great anti-anxiety med, but not a good sleep med. And yes....the doctors and insurance companies want everyone to take SSRI's... . they don't work for most people with severe sleep issues and they (the SSRI'S) have horrible side effects!! If your doctor is willing to prescribe you Diazepam..... ask him or her to switch you from Diazepam to Lorazepam! It will work! I promise! I agree that Flurazepam was excellent...but if you've been unable to get that, ask your doctor to switch the diazepam to Lorazepam.

Thanks for the reply. I did try Lorazepam and it is not good for me. I definitely felt it the next day, it must take a long while to get out of your system. I felt after using it 3x in a week that my overall mood was declining. Seems like a depressant to me.

I have half a bottle in the cupboard waiting for a pharmacy disposal day…

Flurazepam was a godsend to me… no hangover, good sleep, no mood changes.

But no way can I afford the cash price for it.
