> I've been looking at Trazodone for either augmentation or monotherapy since I am so prone to sexual dysfunction with ADs. Apparently it is pretty good for sleep as well, but, is that just from sedation or is it a genuine REM suppressor?
It is -- that is, it decreases the percentage of sleep that includes REMs. But then again, so do SSRIs. Trazodone has been known to cause nightmares as a side effect.
> All ADs give me continuous, vivid dreams (that suck!) and they always manage to "break through" sedation, no matter how strong.
Have you tried MAOIs or TCAs?
