> > Were you using a hypnotic at night? I used 80-120mg Parnate in combination with 4mg Klonopin and 200mg Lamictal. I also took the Parnate in regular divided doses throughout the day, with the last dose at around 5-6:00PM. I found the stimulant effect wore off nicely this way and the sedative effect of Klonopin took over at night when I wanted to sleep.

> I've developed tolerance to benzos as i've been on them for 26 years. They simply do not work for me anymore. Lunesta and Ambien (which are a type of benzo) don't touch my insomnia. My pdoc has me on Trazodone for sleep which works 'okay' periodically. Sometimes i use benadryl, but it makes me tired the next day. Any suggestions?

Also if the med brings a robust success,perhaps then you might actualy notice a benzo work for you?
You have over the counter taurine,but everything i know of for anxiety all works in aid with a benzo.
Zyprexa seems to be a favorite however for anxiety and about one of the few drugs ive seen mentioned as strong.
Depakote also in doses much less then needed for mood stablization effects gaba sites strongly and can be pretty calming.
