@frouke I take 1mg Ativan every night and 30mg Amitriptyline and I must get great REM sleep.....because I feel well-rested and fantastic everyday. Can't believe everything you hear! I just get sick of this med (Ativan--a benzo med) being bashed. It is working very effectively for me and my sisters as well as a few others I know that take it. No side effects either.....and yes.. I know it's addictive. So is Trazodone or any other sleep med you take nightly. Including Over the counter Benadryl.

@cindisue, I don’t have anything against medication but in my case, I don’t react well enough to take whatever I want. I have been taking Amitriptyline for years but I can’t tolerate more than 10 mg because I get an unpleasant feeling, as for Ativan I have been taking them for over twenty years and I would definitely have a problem trying to stop them now.
