Insomnia while on benzos and opiates

[roadkill barbie]

Mirtazipine is great for sleep and depression,Try it if you have become depressed because off insomnia..

Second that one - always take at night, 30mg is way better than ANY benzo/ opiate for putting me to sleep and less side effects than the SSRI's IMHO

I would give trazodone a try.....It is a heterocyclic antidepressant, but is usually prescribed for insomnia......It is very sedating, and should knock you out. I would try 100mg and see if that helps.

You could also try doxepin or amitriptyline, but I think trazodone is more effective and has less side effects. If none of those work, get some seroquel. That will knock you out for sure (I personally don't like it because it makes me feel like a zombie).
