Best sleeping pill?

Ender · May 14, 2008

Hey alls,
I finished school about a week or two ago and my sleeping habits are going down the drain again. I hate it. I don't get tired until about 5am, and it's impossible for me to wake up before 1 or 2 pm. I freaking hate it. I used to think it was depression, but i kinda just think it's probably the main reason i do get depressed.

Anyways, what's the best sleeping pill that any of you have been on, one that doesn't make you all messed up in the morning. Ive tried over the counter ones (they mess me up hard the next day), velarian, melatonin (those two do nothing). I'm gonna ask my doc next time i see him, just wanted to get a couple of ideas before i see him

thanks
Kiel

I am going to say Rozerem, for two reasons.

I work for Takeda and that is what I am suppose to say.
Secondly, I took it after Rhett was born and it did great for me without the tired feeling the next day. (Did not work for Takeda when I took the pills fwiw)so that is an honest answer with out the corporate kool aid. It does not hit you hard and fast like Ambien.

I swear by Remeron.

It's actually an anti depressants, but it's side effect is sleep....so the "effect" never wears off like typical otc sleeping meds. I had tried them all too.
Also, I don't have the hung over feeling in the morning, like otc's.

It can be tricky at first to get the dosing right - so now would be a good time to try it, since you don't have a school schedule to keep.

I take it about 30-60 minutes before wanting to fall asleep. I've been on it about 4 years.
I know several CFer's on it for sleep.

Good luck - it sucks having insomnia !
