I had to give up the Remeron due to severe weight gain and water retention. It was causing alot of health issues for me. I tried to diet, exercise, etc. but I just kept packing on the weight. I loved that med, I slept so well on it, I hated to give it up. Last Friday the pdoc gave me Halcion to take in place of the Restoril which is no longer working for me. It won't put me to sleep at all anymore even if I double the dose. I have been really agitated and depressed since making the switch. I am thinking I need to wean off the Restoril. What is your opinion? Is there a benzo that is longer acting than the Halcion that I could try? I am not that familiar with sleep meds.
