[QUOTE="t_spacemonkey, post: 238976, member: 44502"] it angers me when docs still prescribe benzos to NEW patients and telling them they are 'safe'. it shows you how ignorant the established medical system is. I found it really hard to navigate through it, and by design take everything they say as a LIE which has to be proven otherwise. I personally delt with massive insomnia, and pretty much tried every drug on the planet (currently 100% drug free, minus TRT). benzos are definitely the most effective, but as said very dangerous. there is no drug long term which will fix sleep. for short term I think the safest and least addictive are anti histamine type drugs, like hydroxizine, or even seroquel, which at low dose does act similar to an antihistamine. I would even try lyrica/gabapentin before a benzo, as they too can be nasty to withdraw, but it is usually short lived (weeks not months or years). they all come with nasty s'x, daytime sleepiness, in case of for ex. lyrica (and to a lesser extent gabapentin), suicidal thoughts are common. I never was suicidal, but after trying lyrica couple times in the past, i could totally relate to somebody who is, by the way you feel. the always went away after I stopped taking them, so it was the drugs.
