hi, im looking for a benzo that keeps me asleep. i usually wake up like 5 times a night and its getting ridiculous. right now i take some xanax every other day for the past week to see how it is but i still wake up in the middle of the night. i tried temazepam, i wasnt sure if it really worked cause i only had 1 trial pill. any other suggestions?
UPDATE: ok sorry for not being more specific before. so to answer all those questions: YES, i have tried all the other bullshit drugs. to be more specific, from first to last goes like this: over the counter sleep aids, then i went to a psychiatrist and she prescribed me mirtazapine, then trazadone, none of those worked. then i went to my doctor and he tried ambiem 5 mg, then 10 mg, nothing worked. even ambien extended release didnt work. then i went on to explain to him how nothing works and he sees that. i told him i thought short half life benzos would be the move so i dont feel groggy in the morning but a lot of u guys are opposed to short half live benzos for sleep? so i then tried 1 mg xanax, (which i do sleep on and keep waking up on but im able to fall back asleep on it easily) and 2 mg xanax (which made me super groggy in the morning like i couldnt get out of bed) i also tried temazepam 30mg. (the thing im not sure about temazepam was because i was high from smoking weed that night so i couldnt really tell if it was working or not, maybe ill try that again idk.
point is, ive tried pretty much everything before benzos, obv i researched the fuck out of these drugs and know this is last resort. i dont need to be told that, no offense.
and for that other person who suggested it being something in my life that might be bothering me, yes, i tore my ACL 4 years ago and im still having my 4th surgery on it in a few months. tht shit pisses me off
