I have the same problem.
The previous night, in addition to my Doxepin, I took a ZMA Capsule (mag, zinc and B6) and 1/2 tsp nutmeg before going to bed. When I woke up after 4 hours, I took ZMA, Calcium and 1/2 tsp nutmeg. Got back to sleep and felt very rested.
Tried the same regimen last night and while I slept, I don't feel completely rested. But I took an extra multivitamin which I feel was the culprit.
Anyway, if this works long term, I will post. My concern is taking nutmeg long term. While apparently high doses are bad, it still freaks me out since I am so sensitive to everything.
Stay tuned.
