I often find myself wide awake at 4:30 in the morning, having never gone to sleep at all. I take Xanax and Lexapro, and have even taken extra Xanax to try to go to sleep, but my body just won't cooperate. And taking the extra Xanax is definitely not a good idea, because it just makes you want to take more and more. There are several sleep meds out now that might help you. The Xanax just doesn't seem to stay in your system for very long. I have tried Trazadone and Seroquel, which both work pretty good for me, but make me feel kinda groggy the next day. Talk to your doctor about something for sleep besides the Xanax. And I too often have the thought that I'm "not right" because I'm awake nearly all night, while other people are sleeping.
