> I'm on Lyrica which works great for my anxiety, but it gives me insomnia. The only thing that seems to work is 6mg of Lunesta. Is that too much? Benzos leave me hammered for the next day. I can't tolerate meds that affect serotonin and Ambien makes me hallucinate. Sonata doesn't work. Any other options or is 6mg of Lunesta okay?

> ThanksLooking at that again, what exactly do you mean by "Benzos", because there are way over a dozen of them and they have completely different properties.
Ambien, Lunesta, Sonata, they're all pseudobenzodiazepines and they also touch the GABA receptors, so if you've taken benzodiazepines a fair bit there's cross-tolerance.
At any rate, I'd have to know which benzodiazepine "leaves you hammered" and just how much you're taking for sleep to get a real sense of the situation
