Hi
I take a short acting benzo twice during the night,the first dose together with 1/2 tablet of mirtazapine.
My problem is always the same: the second dose benzo doesn't work as well anymore so I end up being awake from 1:30AM til 6:30AM.What I treid so far to enhance the benzo:
Melatonin,5HTP(not good things for me)
taurine(helps a tiny bit)
Magnesium
glycine
Niacin
Trazodone(made me even more awake)
Are there other meds I could try?
I asked docs to give me a long lasting benzo but they don't want that.
Coming off the benzo is not an option for me at the moment.
Any suggestion is welcome.
Thank you.
