I take an antidepressant called mirtazapine (Remeron) at a 15mg dose. At that dose one of the side effects is being drowsy (at 30mg this side effect is greatly lessened...more is not better). It also helps control my nightmares. It does not alter normal sleep patterns. Ambien, Seroquel and Klonopin interrupt normal REM sleep which is a very bad thing.
Most insurance companies have mirtazapine in their formulary.
