It sound like you are chasing sleep and that is a surefire way to stay awake all night. You have to try to still your thoughts and then sleep will sneak in the back door. If you can tolerate anti-depressants, Remeron is the med for anxious insomniacs. Failing that, you could substitute the Seroquel for a low dose (2.5 mg) Zyprexa, but get set for weight gain and possibly Type 2 diabetes. You might also consider substituting the Ativan for a longer acting benzo like clonazepam. Good luck to you. I know how awful it is to go without sleep...but you mustn't focus on that. Relaxation is the key.
