I've tried zyprexa, ambien, xanax, traz, among others. Both zyprexa and traz worked fine initially, but both quit working as a sleep aid relatively quickly when used several nights in a row. I did not like either of these.
10 mg Ambien worked better, though also pooped out soon; it did NOT cause next day fogginess/drowsiness like both traz and zyprexa. I never did get much of a tolerance to xanax for sleep (.5-1 mgs), and it worked as equally well as ambien. I'd still use it if I had a prescription for it. Unfortunatley I don't and instead just stay up and read newsgroups all night :)
I used xanax for about 2-3 months as needed (about 3-4 times/week) and never really developed an addiction, which is not too regular for me.
