Yes I take Dormicum as well. "reference post July of 2015" The problem for me, as with in general all benzodiazepine meds, is I build up a tolerance rather quickly. The Dormicum works amazing well for like the first 3 nights, maybe four, then, I have to increase the dose to 2 x 15 mg of Dormicum (Roche midazolam) and, by 10 days, It will not put me to sleep. I have been using various types of benzo's for the past 10 years now.

A big problem for me is the expense involved in maintaining a inventory of these meds, one can "lose their shirt unless one is rich, which I am not" For me, I have to rotate, my use of about 4 benzodiazepine meds, and/or, combine very low doses of a combination of such hypnotics as Pfizer Halcion like 4 x 0.25 mg, but with HTF Pfizer Halcion (triazolam) I still build up a tolerance within about 7 days, in the past I have got my dose up to as high as 12 x 0.25 mg over a 8 hour evening, for insomnia, NOT RECOMMENDED.

For this year, I rotate, "due to tolerance" a generic brand of USA Ambien 10 mg (Zolpidem Tartrate), then, for middle of the night awakenings, I take 4 x 0.25 mg of Pfizer Halcion, along with one tab of 15 mg of Roche Dormicum.

I rotate from month to month also, several other meds, I keep a efficient chart, of every pill I intake. Examples, are, Sanofi Dormonoct 2 mg x 2 tabs, and sometimes Loramet 2 mg gelcaps, both are benzo minor tranquilizers, the former, has the chemical name "Loprazolam" the latter the chemical name "Lormetazepam".

I have now have reached the hallmark age of 60 . I started off with Roche Valium, and Roche Librium, early 1970's, got a dependence, on both, and, abstained from all sedative hypnotics from age 30 to age 50 !!! Unfortunately the brain does not forget, as, my old tolerance has returned either on a full benzo or the use of a "half benzo, meaning the Z hypnotics such as Ambien 10mg or Sanofi Stilnox 10 mg. (Zolpidem Tartrate) brand or generic, such as Torrent mfg slim tablets. I also believe that as my body ages, that the newer "softer benzo's never make me giddy, or make me euphoric, as pills did in my youth (my 20's) but only make me tired, so I can get my sleep! if, I use a noise pollution silencer machine, and play soft music, like ocean waves, with sea gulls on my master bedroom music system ! I admit, IMHO, just my 2 cents worth, a lot of sex from age 30 to age 50 with being married, the entire time x 2 marriages, was a very healthy distraction in my middle ages, but, as a divorced male, that no loner is a option, as I am now retired. I used to fall asleep many a night for natures best anxiety reliever !!

I also very carefully titrate in some HTF Pfizer Xanax or Xanor, but limit my dose to never more than 2 mg per day, due to a previous, very stubborn dependence just on the benzo alprazolam, by either Pfizer Upjohn or by Greenstone generic alps.

IMHO my neurotransmittors were affected in my early youth, many years ago, back in my age of 21 to about age 30 by taking "much stronger, 1970's, very powerful, now long off the market, meds like "Eli Lilly Tuinal 3 grain, Pulvules, or Abbott Nembutal 100mg capsules, and, USV Doriden (Glutethimide 500mg) and William H Rorer/ later Lemmon Quaalude 300 mg !!!

Even after decades of 100 percent abstinence, the so called safer meds are no comparison to the effectiveness, of the addictive fast acting barbituates, and the now barbituates that have been off of the world market, for now almost 20 years minimum, in most countries of the modern industrialized world !!!
