Seroquel was the other sleep aid I was sleeping of. never tried it personally. Its an antisychotic but is oft prescribed as a sleep aid. Rozeram is another one.

But definately no benzos for sleep aids.

Worst thing I ever took was half a mirtazipine. I could barely get out of bed. Slept for about 16hrs straight and still had to will myself out of bed. That and trazadone just dont work for me.

As far as Sleep for me now what I do:

Hot Glass of Milk ( not microwaved only stove top warmed), and some Starchy carbs ; like a small bowl of potato salad or pasta

The tryptophen and carb spike slow metabolism and trick it in to a repair state.

yah, watch out for melatonin. I've been taking that stuff to deal with my hectic schedule and wanting to maximize my days, but now i can barley fall asleep at night without taking it like my body won't produce the chemical anymore. i'm up to like 9 mgs a night, gonna back off once my finals are over

L-Tryptophan is available in the US again. BAC has it. I think whole foods does, too.
