Linkadge,
I think you meant this for me. My daughter has a sleep phase shift: difficulty falling asleep, but sleeps throught the night, though I question her quality of sleep. Her sleep study showed some mild apnea. Tried trazodone awhile back, but stopped it b/c we thought it might be causing memory issues. Turns out it was the Lexapro we started at the same time, but didn't know it then and never tried trazodone again.
A specialist we consulted wants to add low dose Seroquel as an adjunct for social phobia, but our local doc absolutely refuses to prescribe it stating that it will make her fatigue worse (that said before we switched to Zoloft).
As her SP is only 20-30% helped by SSRI, do you think Seroquel would be worth a trial, especially since it would help sleep, rather than adding a sleep med? We've an appointment with another pdoc soon who will hopefully be more open to trying things and not on the SSRI bandwagon so much.
You've always been so helpful on this board. Thank you.
Cairo
