Best benzo cure for insomnia

Honestly, I am scripted 3 1mg XR Xanax throughout the day, and only take one in the morn. and then I take two of the 1mg XR AND one and a half .5mg IR at bedtime, I also do take seroquel, but if i take the ser. without the xanax, I cannot sleep. Xanax has knocked me into sleep for over a year. maybe its the XR that just keeps working all night, but whatever, it WORKS for sleep for me.
 
Depends on how long u want to sleep for and ya tolerance.
temazepam is good place to start then oxazepam then lorazepam then diazepam, then nitrazepam last of all the best rohynol or hypnodorm.
Triazolam is great knock u out at leass than 1mg and only last 2 hours but most people have bad reaction to it and get really violent its the strongest bonding benzo and banned around the world as the only drug to be blamed legally for violence.
Depends on do u have problems getting to sleep stay alseep? what have u tried?

I first recommend u get some meletonin pharm grade and 5-HTP

stay away from benzos they bad news trust me read my post i had problems with sleep since i was born and now have been addicted to benzos for ages

Is my pop-knowledge of science completely inaccurate? Does a 250 hour half-life really mean that Flurazepam could remain in one's system and could theoretically interact with other drugs for 10 (x2) days?!

And technically trace amounts will be present 5x the length of the half-life. Diazepam is similar with a 200 hour half-life. But benzos don't interact too badly with anything except Alcohol/GHB and Opiates, so you just gotta watch your doses of those.
 
Temazepam good cure for insomnia. Works for me but everyone different. Do yourself favor and try OTC cure first. Melatonin, Valerian Root, 5-HTP could be what is needed.
 
anyone know if its safe to take a dose of melatonin on top of say ativan or xanax for sleep? I've been addicted to benzo's for years too and lately the ativan is not keeping me under for a full 8hrs anymore (2mg)

When I use xanax at bedtime I wake up even earlier after maybe 4 hrs (1mg) (probably shorter half-life than the ativan.

5-htp at night seems to distrupt my sleep as well.
 
I find occasional chloral hydrate ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chloral_hydrate ) to be by far the most effective sleeping drug i've ever taken, way past benzos or other hypnotics like the zopi*'s. It also has the added bonus of not having any cross tolerance with benzos for folks that are on them regularly or have developed a high natural tolerance. It is uncommon, though I understand it's available in the uk - that's where mine comes from. It's the only drug that i really need to get ready for bed before i take it. don't use it a lot but it's a serious contender.

I'd also like to know if you would have to adjust your dose of melatonin if you where taking benzo's >.>
I'm currently using melatonin (and sometimes 5-htp on top of it) as a sleeping aid, but i would have to say that 3mg of melatonin by its self makes sleeping easier.
But of course, if you genuinly have a sleeping disorder then it wont work for that.

Temazepam? I need something to completely knock me out for a few consecutive nights so I can flip a sleeping pattern.

Of what I've tried: Xanax is only good for a night or two, Ativan and Klonopin are useless.

my experience is that you can't flip a sleeping pattern with benzo.
