> I considered that. Would love to try Trazodone. Looks like Trazodone has a "severe interaction" warning when used with fluvoxamine, though. Haven't looked into it too closely, but I imagine there's a risk of serotonin syndrome.

> Doc suggested doxepin or Belsomra. I'd prefer to find something like Trazodone that could be taken nightly without a dependence concern.Doxepin is not addictive. It is a tricyclic antidepressant (TCA) with a high degree of antihistamine action. Remeron is similarly antihistaminic. Unfortunately, weight gain is often a problem.
I don't know enough about Belsomra to be sure about its potential for addiction. I know the current theory as to how it works, but the drug hasn't been around long enough to fully evaluate its clinical properties.
