Insomnia. What seems to help?

I have tried ambien + valium which worked for a while. Two weeks ago I started taking Ramelteon which seems to work, some nights I need to back it up with 5 mg of valium, but generally getting 6-7 hours solid sleep, last night I even got 8 hours. It requires a script and is expensive...for my first 60 tabs I did not run it through insurance, and it was $300, but so far seems money well spent, with my CLL I really need at least 6 hours of good sleep to feel well and function the next day.

Hi Richard
I take 10 mg of Melatonin and it works very well I also take 30 g mertyazapine. I have nocturnal seizures so its very important that I get atleast 8 hours sleep. Lack of sleep can bring on a seizure

Could you share your experience with Ramelteon, such as dosage, how long taking, help with sleep, side effects, etc? I've been taking 75-150mg of Trazodone for a while but it doesn't always work so my dr prescribed 8mg Ramelteon. I afraid to take it because it's one of the hypnotic drugs where you can sleepwalk without knowing it.
