sedation
"Had similar experiences as many have commented on - Primary reason for use was horrid insomnia lasting over 3> months (If I snuck in two hours a night it was a blessing.)  Tried all the usual stuff and some older tricks my Dr. had.... Nothing. Biggest problem was I would doze off and have beyond horrible flash-backs from 5 combat tours and a chopper crash.  Shrink says my mental status is not an issue, fit and sound. Just something that's gonna be trial and error.  Lunesta was the worst as the flashbacks were nightly and freaked my girlfriend out to the point the relationship failed.  Have NO idea why this works for several friends (civilian) and I think it's a placebo.  Switched exercise hours, diet.  Just did not work for me.."
