> > > > > > Has anyone used Trazadone with so-so results and then switched to Remeron with better results. I'm taking 200 mg. of Trazadone now for anxiety and sleep problems, and is has helped but I'm not getting my 8 hours of sleep. I get about 5 or 6 and wake up a few times at night. Does anyone know if Remeron is better?
I took Remeron for 3 months. Slept well at 15 mg., but had to reduce the dose to 7.5 mg. due to fatigue and daytime sleepiness. Still slept pretty well at 7.5 mg., but eventually had to discontinue it completely because I awoke every morning with a throbbing headache. Also felt very tired and depressed while taking Remeron, plus I was hungry all the time. Just started taking Trazadone so I don't know yet how well it will work for me. I miss the good sleep that Remeron provided, but not the side effects.
