It's a prescription and he started me out at a high dose because I've tried so many things to bring on rest

Sounds like something from the valium category, because of the "azepam" on the end. I take a similar drug, oxazepam at max dose, along with a handful of other Rx meds and I have learned that some people just metabolize things differently. What would take down the average elephant is barely enough to keep my anxiety at bay. Be careful with sleep aids, especially of the benzoidiazepenes, which it sounds like that one is, because your tolerance will build up quickly, resulting in a necessary higher and higher dose, and eventually withdrawal that is excruciating. I am at that point right now, and may have to be in rehab for several months. Insomnia is a cruel, cruel joke.
Best of luck, and definitely be honest with your Dr. if that dose is not working for you.

It is Carrie. I feel bad that you have had such a rough go of it. I too require a lot of meds because of a high tolerance to everything. I'm going to be very vocal with the doc about how this medication is working because this needs to be put to bed (no pun intended) for me to get on with my life. It has been very distracting and time consuming like it has a life of its own at the expense of my own. I hope you can get your own life in order as do I. My son suffers too so anything you can tell me as well as my own experiences can only help him as well.
