Tried Rozerem for sleep
I had been taking 100 mg of trazodone to help me sleep. I had begun to wake in the middle of the nite or very early morning and not been able to get back to sleep. My psychiatrist prescribed rozerem, a new sleep medication that is supposed to help you fall asleep AND sleep through the night. But I have to wean myself off of the trazodone. Initially the doctor told me to take both the rozerem and the trazodone for a week, then only 50 mg of trazadone with the rozerem for a week and then only the rozerem.
However, dropping the trazadone that fast seemed to be causing the jumpiness i talked about in the last post (see http://www.myanxietyblog.com/i-feel-very-jumpy-despite-my-anti-anxiety-medications-lately/) . I backed up and weaned more slowly. But the rozerem never helped at all. In fact, I feel that it made me drowsy in the mornings. So i am back to 50 mg of trazodone and i am sleeping well enough.
