I've been taking Serzone - somewhat related to Trazadone - for about 4 years. Currently I'm taking 400 mg. a day, all at bedtime. The Serzone has been very helpful in managing night time wakefulness and anxiety attacks, as well as the underlying depression.
Lately though I seem to be waking up in the night more again. After doing some web research, I discussed switching to either Trazodone or Remeron with my doctor, and we decided to try Remeron.
But Remeron is still classed as experimental here in Canada, so neither my doctor nor my regular pharmacist have any experience with it! Has anyone any experience/suggestions re the switch-over period, e.g. overlap them or wean from Serzone first or whatever??

I'm taking 200 mg. of Trazadone now for anxiety and sleep problems, and is has helped but I'm not getting my 8 hours of sleep. I get about 5 or 6 and wake up a few times at night. Does anyone know if Remeron is better?
