chopperdave, I sympathize with you and pray you find something that works for you soon. Have you tried over the counter Unisom with active ingredient Doxylamine Succinate? It works very good for an over the counter sleep aid. Also, you say you've tried benzos....I'm wondering which ones you've tried. Flurazepam was an extremely good med for insomnia/sleep issues, but then went off the market. It's supposed to be coming back under manufacturer Chartwell and Rising. I take Lorazepam with Amitriptyline nightly. I've finally found what works for me and couldn't be happier. These 2 meds work together to stop the anxiety and racing thoughts at bedtime and also help so much at getting back to sleep when I wake up. Don't give up! I did alot of my own research and recommend people do the same. The website Drugs.com is very helpful. It will tell you all the meds used for sleep issues or any issue you want to research. That's how I found Amitriptyline. It's an older med that's been around a long time but doctors these days don't prescribe it because they, for some reason, want to push these new SSRI's and SSNI's.... examples are Zoloft, Lexapro, Duloxetine, etc.... some work for some people, but most have alot of side effects. Good luck to you.
