I'm just wondering what else there is to try for my insomnia.
My pill of choice is the antihistamine phenergan (promethazine). 50mg knocks me out cold but within three nights I've build a tolerance. I read that the antihistamine doxylamine is stronger so I tried that and it side absolutely nothing. Maybe because I already built up an antihistamine tolerance. There was one other antihistamine I read about...Can't remember the name. The one they use in Nytol I think. I haven't tried it because apparently it's very weak compared to the other two.
I have diazepam on prescription but find it useless for sleep. I use it sometimes during the day for anxiety. I also have zopiclone on prescription but it's quite mild. It's okay but not great. Doctor won't give me anymore anyway.
Are there any obvious drugs to try for sleep that I'm missing?
Obviously I want to get to the bottom of my insomnia but it's mainly due to my mental health issues and I'm on SSRI number 3...just waiting to find one that will work! In the meantime I need sleep!!
