Sid - thanks for sharing the article Insomnia: When and How to Use Sleeping Pills. I too have had sleeping problems for a long time and take eldepryl + 25/100 sinamet. My neurologist first prescribed Restoril and then ambien which I take nightly. Otherwise I would be awake all night several nights in a row. I work full time and decided that if taking a pill helped me rest, it was worth it. I can't say my sleeplessness started with taking eldepyrl since I was in the original datatop study and have taken eldepryl for over 5 years. Melatonin did not help me either. Reading the article gave me reassurance re ambien. ***************************************************** Rosemary Paul [log in to unmask] Community Services x3919 *****************************************************
