Hi all, I have been suffering from insomnia since I was about 13 and this year I turned 38. When it started to be a problem when I was in my pre-teens I was prescribed Lunesta, Ambien, and Trazadone but (with the exception of the Trazadone) there were episodes where I would drive to the gas station and talking to people or go shopping or doing other things that could of possiblly led to rather dangerous situations without even knowing it. I decided that I rather suffer with insomnia than kill myself or somebody else on the road, or worse. After about 10 years my life was being affected due to not having a decent sleep. I was prescribed Restoril but that really didn't help either. Now that I'm almost 40 I made a choice to make an appointment with someone to get treatment and I would like to know what medication worked to help you fall asleep, I don't have a problem staying asleep but I can't fall asleep. To get a controlled substance I would have to see a doctor located pretty far, if nothing else works I can always make that appointment but I rather try something else before getting back on benzos. Thanks in advance and any suggestions are appreciated .
