> I found trazodone to be a pretty disgusting drug. I felt a "hangover" the morning after taking it for sleep. However, this hangover effect was not the same as the original depression getting worse. I think the hangover thing can get somewhat better over time, but if your core depressive illness is made worse, I would not expect that to get better.

Hi Scott,

Thank you for the information.
I have problems staying asleep even with 3mg ativan and 100mg Seroquel each night. My pdoc says I'm taking too much ativan (a total of 4-5 mg per day) so he'd rather I increase the seroquel, but that results in cognitive problems for me. I tried Valium a few days ago to disastrous results.

I get nightmares from regular sleeping pills like Ambien or Restoril, lunesta and benedryl.

Thanks,
Roslynn
