Has anyone had a problem not getting sleepy at bedtime at all

Maybe 4hours

On Trazodone but still not sleeping well.

I've been this way my entire life. I am so jealous of my dog. She hits her bed and five minutes later is sound asleep, while I'm tossing and turning for an hour or more. I took Ambien for awhile but the bad side effects caught up with me. Now I'm using Melatonin and didn't find it helpful at first, but after about a week it's finally started working.

I have extreme insomnia due to unchecked anxiety. My body cannot tolerate the “popular” anxiety meds like Lexipro, Celexa, Effexor, etc. Ativan, Xanax, Ambien have all been prescribed but they lost their effectiveness due to the length of time I was on them. I get 0 hours sleep. In a last ditch effort, I was prescribed Seroquel which is an antipsychotic (I do not have psychosis or schizophrenia). Doctor denied this medication was an antipsychotic. After one pill at night, I was falling over and could not walk the next morning. Another medication goes to be destroyed after trying one pill. Very distressing situation.

I have been on Zolpidem ER for quite some time and it seems it's been losing its affect by itself. I have added a non-prescription chewable ZZQuill tablet with my Zolpidem. I fall asleep again within 5 minutes, but still I can only get a maximum of 6.0 hours uninterrupted sleep. I suggest you check with your GP before trying.

My best.

Don't feel like the lone ranger. Lots of people have the same problem, I am one of them. Iam thinking of acupuncture to heal this problem; but it is not covered by bluecross. check into it my friend and good luck.
