Trazodone is quite similar to Serzone (nefazadone), more similar than Remeron.
Trazodone is frequently used as a sleep aid at low dose, 50mg. For anti-depressant effect, the recommendation is 150 mg/day in divided doses, increased by 50 mg/day every three to four days. The maximum dose is 400mg/day.

It was crazy, instead of "I can't do this" or "this isn't worth it" it was completely positive. It was the first and only time I ended up getting all A's in college, etc. The negative conditioning that I had for years had just vanished! Sadly, I had to be taken off of it due to the liver issues. I don't think doctors really want to prescribe it anymore. I've taken sooo many different meds since the Serzone and nothing has done what it did. I've heard Remeron could have similar effects.... I'm thinking of trying that next.... Any thoughts?
