> > Thanks for your words of encouragement! Afraid to try another *new* drug (Trazadone)right now, so I started taking Elavil 10mg again along with the Effexor. Sleeping again is bliss but the price is rather high; it does affect short term memory, especially in the am. In a way it seems wasteful to use an expensive new drug, then add another one which adds back the side effects the new ones don't have. Go figure.
> Try the trazadone. Many people use it successfully for sleep. Desyrel is the brand name, which some say works better.

I am 29 and I started taking trazadone (50 mg @bedtime) for my insomnia/depression which has lasted for about 6 years now. I have tried serzone, paxil and celexa but I have a problem tolerating the ssri's and they seem to make my insomnia worse. Trazadone was the only medication that has relieved the "sinking" feeling of the depression. But, because of nausea I stopped taking it after 3 weeks of treatment and the depression is back. I have tried to restart the trazodone (and tried to increase the dosage) but it is not nearly as helpful as it was the first time. I am wondering if there is anyone out there who trazadone has helped in the past and if you have since found anything that has helped you as much? Please help...I am desperate! Amy
