"after months of struggling to sleep and trying different medication (ambien, halcion, trazodone, and others) i found 30mg restoril with the melatonin and benadry would put me to sleep. restoril stopped working after a while and i couldn&#039;t fall asleep and couldn&#039;t stay asleep. over the next 3 months i averaged 3 hours of sleep a night and only 45 minutes at a time. my body was completely exhausted but my brain would keep going. i have never been diagnosed as bi-polar or any other mental illness. i just have a very active mind. finally taking 2mg klonopin, 25mg elavil, 600mg seroquel, 10mg melatonin and 50mg benadryl at night would put me to sleep. i sleep like a normal and no side effects besides restless leg syndrome and morning drowsiness."
