I have insomnia probably as a result of anxiety. I have tried Trazodone with no luck. 150 mgs makes me very tired but I cannot fall asleep. I also do not like how it makes me feel the next day, especially on an hour of sleep!
My doc is suggesting I try either Serzone or Remeron. I am wondering if Serzone would have the same type of effect on me since it is so closely related to Trazodone.
Of course, I am also concerned about the weight gain associated with Remeron, but have also read on this board that it has antihistamine like qualities. If I take antihistamines, such as Benadry at night, I will not sleep at all. Is it possible that this would happen with Remeron, or do I have to just try it and see?
Any insight would be appreciated.
