Default Sleeping With MS... How do you do it?

I cannot sleep. I am so tired. Then I am fatigued all day and dragging with weights holding me down, then I try to sleep and it all starts over again.

You know this feeling. I am sure you do. it seems to be a common problem.
I was on Ambien, which worked great...then it stopped working. We tried Ambien CR same effect. THen we upped the Ambien to 10 MG. IT was amazing, but I only slept for about 4 hours. Once it wore off, sleep was gone.

Now we are trying Lunesta. Funny thing about this. It doesn't work! I took it, layed there for about an hour, finally fell asleep and woke up 5 times that I know of last night because those were the times that I looked at the clock.

Now you would think with the anti depressants and the Morphine 3 x a day that I would sleep like a baby. We even tried switching me back to elavil which made me sleep for a while and stopped working.

Should I just give up on sleep? Is there a magic pill that my doctors are keeping from me? HELP!!
