That's interesting – thanks for sharing, both of you. I am sure both the options suggested by wonderhussy and Birdlike will be of interest to those looking to explore medicinal options for their insomnia.

'Nicole' wrote on '13:Ok so the doxepin didn't work. I am desperate and feeling awful. My psychiatrist prescribed Cymbalta with the hopes that if my depression is treated then the insomnia will go away. The remeron just wasn't cutting it andI haven't been eating in addition to not sleeping. I have finally given in and agreed to 5mg Zyprexa at night to see if this works for the insomnia. Hopefully it will work and if it does hopefully it will just be until the Cymbalta kicks in and helps the depression. I was on effexor in the past and took Trazodone at the same time to help my insomnia and it worked so hopefully the cymbalta will work and I will just need trazadone for sleep. Any positive experiences with Zyprexa?
I tried Zyprexa once years ago for chronic headaches. Even the most minute, lowest dose knocked me out into a coma and I was completely unable to open my eyes the next morning with super severe grogginess all day. So did it work for insomnia? Absolutely. Unfortunately insomnia was not an issue for me at the time, and I stopped taking it after just a few days.
