My therapist and I are thinking my issues with the sleep meds seeming to work sometimes and not others may have to do with the DID. Like different parts responding differently to the meds.

She suggested that I ask about a script for a very low dose of Risperdal (just to be taken PRN) along with the Lunesta. Since my PCP handles my meds, I am not sure what he will say, but I think she is correct that it would probably temper the emotional distress that is keeping me up. She also indicated that taking the Ativan after I wake back up (like tonight) might help me get back to sleep. (Not so far... I took only one but am about to take another since the script says 1 or 2.)

Hopefully your PCP will be agreeable to the Risperdal. Maybe he or she can speak with your therapist if necessary to convince him or her to prescribe it.
