I'm currently taking 50 mg Quviviq every night before bedtime. It might be helping some, but then I still end up taking zolpidem every night, usually in the 4 to 5:30 AM time frame when I wake up and can't get back to sleep until I take a small piece (~1.2-1.5 mg)

Nothing

just melatonin.

Melatonin every night. Doesn't knock me out but mostly take it for antioxidant effect. I'll take Victan(long acting benzo) sometimes if I'm having a spike causing anxiety. Sometimes I'll take Hydroxyzine especially if I've got itchy eyes/nose due to allergies keeping me awake.
L along the way
Well yes.. i take either anti pain meds, drink, or sleep meds, i rotate these 3 around for now.. i wish i can sleep well again without any of these things some day

I break half of a 0.5 mg Klonopin into four pieces and take a small piece before bed. I probably didn't need it to fall asleep now. I was going through a tough time and was taking Remeron and Klonopin until I could fix my insomnia. I sleep for 5 hours straight and hear ringing every night I sleep and sleep through it.

How many consecutive hours is everyone sleeping?
RunningMan
I might sleep 2 or 3 hours straight, rarely more than that. Earlier in the night, I can get back to sleep without taking zolpidem, although Quviviq is still in my system.

@Supersix i'm usually up every 2 hours. 3 if it's a very good night.
Supersix
@cjbhab, Are you only taking Melatonin?
Varda
Supersix
@Varda Wow, you get 10 hours of straight sleep? Before Tinnitus, I would only get 6
cjbhab
@Supersix yes, I am only taking Melatonin 5mg. Right now I am also taking vitamin D and ginkgo biloba too, but I try to stay away from medications because it never ends well taking anything.

I feel I am the worst of all of you and for some reason I'm sleeping No meds. I think this is going to end soon. My world is becoming smaller. T is screaming.

@Supersix I think I have a depressive personality so laying in bed comes easily to me. In my youth I would go to sleep at 4AM, wake up at 6PM and play MMORPGs until 4AM then go back to sleep for 14 hours. I was keeping a normal sleep schedule and a job for awhile but then tinnitus hit and I really can't be arsed to get out of bed or care about my job anymore
