Take the med early in the morning...NO CAFFEINE for you ....  And get some Simply Sleep to help you sleep that night. It's benadryl. That way you won't have to take the Ambien (it's way too expensive!!).

Good luck with that!! I take more naps than my 4 yr old. I keep telling Neuro's I need something for fatigue and then they start me on something else like for pain and don't want to do more than one med in case something goes wrong. So.. for now.. tons of naps for me! I am hoping the best for you and that it works   Monique |

There are 100 mg tablets. Ask your doctor for a prescription for those and you'll only have to break them in half.

I have Trazodone to help me get a better night's sleep. It works better for me than Benadryl. It's an old, safe, and cheap drug, and works well as a sleep aid at low doses. I take 50mg at night, and it works wonders for me. My neuro RX's it.

The 100 mg tabs cost almost twice as much as the 200 mg tabs. I'd go with the 200 mg tabs and cut them!
 The pill cutter costs about $5. I haven't tried the Trazadone. I can't take any rx sleeping pills b/c I take Soma. The only thing I can take is benadryl and it works just fine for me. I don't need it very often. Between the Klonopin and the Soma I am usually out within 25-30 minutes anyway...little Miss Med Sensitive here!!
