Just curious what anti anxiety meds did your dr prescribe? I just started a new med for sleep celexa 10 mg. I’m hoping it helps. Glad you are finally getting results.

He prescribed .5 mg Alprazolam and two 50 mg Trazodone. It turns out I'm one of those people for whom less is more. He said on nights when I still have problems I can take a 3rd Trazodone 2 hours after the first 2.

Ambien didn't work for me and made me feel lousy.

Costco/Kirkland makes a sleep aid that doesn't use diphenhydramine. I accidentally left my meds at home when I went out of town earlier this year. My daughter had me try those and I had good results.
