I'm sorry that you have to have lifelong insomnia.I've had insomnia on and off throughout my life and it started when I was very young. Took Ambien last year for about a month and came off them and tried Zolpiclone recently.The side-effects were absolutely horrible- It made me have tinnitus as well as panic attacks,I felt so much anxiety at night that I can't sleep because of the ringing noises in my mind.[It felt as though someone's gonna get me]Besides I felt my heart beat really hard I could feel it in my stomach I used to be able to sleep after being sleep-deprived for a night and the following night I could sleep for 7 hours,but now it got to the point that even if I could not sleep for 3 days it doesn't guarantee the fatigue adds up enabling me to fall asleep faster at night!!! The tiredness I feel during daytime were "fake".As soon as I laid down my my bed,I immediately felt jittery even if I wasn't thinking of anything. I suffer from Sleep Paralysis too. Makes me even more anxious when I think of the frequent attacks. Right now I'm trying my hardest to fall asleep at night DRUGS-FREE... I hope it works for us insomniacs!
