Thanks so much for your question.  It sounds like you have tried many medications and they are not working for you.  Maybe our information on Understanding Insomnia will help find some answers.

 

Hope this helps - all the best, sue (moderator)

I have tried all of the above also, although I have had a little sucess with Lunesta.  Have you tried Gabapentin (brand name Neurontin) or Lyrca.  I took both those for Fibromyalgia and they both helped me sleep.  The bad side effect was I was tired during the day also and they both caused weight gain.

 

Halcion can work for a short period of time, but cannot be taken long term.

 

I am not a doctor, but I have had sleep issues for the last several years and have tried many different medications.
