is restoril a good med for hard to treat insomnia?

hello

has anyone had any luck with restoril (temazepam) for treatment resistant insomnia? what about ambien cr? im not having any luck at all with 150 mg of trazodone or 3 mg of lunesta.

also i am hesitant about mentioning remeron to my psychiatrist as it is supposed to cause weight gain. i already gained enough from the seroquel and zyprexa i took (which of course worked).

i guess i should mention the meds im already taking. they are:

geodon - 20 mg/1x day
trazodone - 100 mg/1x day at bedtime
depakote - 125 mg/3x day
xanax xr - 1 mg/3x day

is restoril the same kind of med as xanax? because i need my xanax for anxiety, panic and ocd. can i take both of these at the same time?

i know nothing about restoril so any info would be appreciated as im so tired!

thanks

Hi, just saw your post. I take both xanax and restoril without an problems. I am also taking Cymbalta and Celexa.

For me the restoril worked okay for about a week. My major problem is not as much going to sleep but staying asleep. I am waking up again in the middle of the night again, so I would have to say for me, the restoril is not very effective.

But for you it might work, if you having been taking it since this post, let me knnow how it is working for you.
