JAMY,
I'm just going to throw this out here because maybe you've already tried it but what about asking your dr. for Elavil? I've taken it at bedtime for several years and it's helped me considerably. I imagine there are quite a few people here or on the other forums who use it. I know alot of people, myself included, were leery about going on it since I'd only heard of it as being an antidepressant. But it's also given ALOT for chronic pain and when my PM dr. wanted me to try it, I agreed to. I take a very large dose of it at bedtime along with my other meds. There's a generic form of it called Amitryptylin (I think I spelled that right) and if your insurance doesn't cover it, it's not that expensive to pay for yourself. As ridiculous as it sounds, for awhile it was cheaper for me to pay for it out of pocket and get it filled at Sam's than it was to send the 90 day prescription off to my insurance co.
