Well, I know ambien, sonata and restoril are all enough like benzodiazepines to probably have the effects they do long term: decrease in stage 4. So unfortunately probably best to stay away from them. Interesting as most people report these sleep aids make them 'feel' like they slept really deeply -- but they didn't.

I have been looking into trimipramine. It is supposed to be more sedating than elavil -- ie can use a lower dose. Remeron is very individual -- it may be worth a try but many people get a hangover. For those for whom it works it is great. I think trimipramine shows no effect on sleep architecture. (I do not know about remeron.)

Vistoril is a mild sleep aid that is pretty harmless... similar to benadryl but a little more sedating. A little drying so depends if that is an issue.

Neurontin is sedating and anti-anxiety and few side effects... that could be on the list also.

Take care, hope you sleep better.
