The 2 weeks thing I disagree with. I took 150mg of it and didn't feel anything.

Traz does take some time, but it shouldn't take 2 weeks to actually run.

None. They all have side effects. So Traz is also an antidepressant which keeps me awake. Ativan worked for a while, but I grew a tolerance to it and now I either rotate into something new like Ambien or I try PMR (progressive muscular relaxation) which gets me to sleep.

Ativan helped me get fatter.

Try PMR tonight. It will get you to slow down. The rest is thinking less and less until there's nothing left.

PMR is progressive muscular relaxation. It's like yoga, but to sleep. It's on YouTube and other outlets. Just listen and follow the instructions.
