[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I used to take Ambien but my psychiatrist said it is not recommended for long-term use, so she switched me to 50 mg of trazodone.  It gets me to sleep just as well as the Ambien but in a more gradual, natural-feeling way.  [/quote]

You may really want to keep it to an MD. Lots of people with depression may actually be Bi-Polar Misdiagnosed.  If you give someone say like Trazadone for a sleep aid it may reverse effect and keep them awake Anti depressants can send a person with Bi Polar disorder into a complete spin out. Personally think a good jog in the AM might really help. I'm an insomniac and Bad. been about a week trying to get a good nights rest, I need to take my own advise about the Jog. Nothing has worked for me. Still up all night on ambien and Xanax. Do not like the prescription route. up till 5am after recommended doses then after I do finally fall asleep I sleep til noon and feel tired and unproductive all day. Tennis shoes are going on in the am. Good luck to you all. Oh and if it works for you. Don't change it. No sleep sucks
