I keep bringing up Lyrica (pregabalin).

Just google "pregabalin slow wave" and the first thing that comes up is a French study which states: "Compared with placebo, pregabalin significantly increased slow-wave sleep both as a proportion of the total sleep period and the duration of stage 4 sleep. Alprazolam significantly reduced slow-wave sleep....Pregabalin appears to have an effect on sleep and sleep architecture that distinguishes it from benzodiazepines. Enhancement of slow-wave sleep is intriguing, since reductions in slow-wave sleep have frequently been reported in fibromyalgia and general anxiety disorder."

As for me, I've rotated between Lyrica and Ativan and I get a deeper, more restful sleep with Lyrica.
