OK my personal arsenal which does vary on how many nights I have had bad sleep.
Melatonin - Occasional but it does not work well if you have real insomnia nor does it keep you asleep.
Ambien (some use CR) I do not care for controlled release so skip the CR for me. 10 mg tablets. I will take whole tablet to get to sleep if need be. Occasionally I will cocktail it.
Valium 10mg tablets. 1 tablet usually can help relax me, 2.5 tablets will make me a bit drowsy. Much better for staying asleep. Occasionally I will cocktail it.
Common cocktails: 1 valium + 1 ambien = typically good dose to make you drowsy and stay asleep if you have no pain. 15 mg valium + 5 mg ambien + 1 aspirin better to keep you sleeping. Assorted other approved versions as well and some may include norco.
If you can not really fucking sleep and are going mental because of it. In comes the Seroquel. Now true it may be a antipsychotic and all but it will knock your ass out. Typically prescribed in 25mg doses for sleeping issues (up to 400mg for others). One of these will pretty much knock my ass out, 50mg of it is like being hit by a 2x4. I can not even think of using up to 400mg of this crap. This shit will leave you fucked up the next day often.
