Sammi and all:
I hope that I will be able to get more sleep the further away that I get from Eff-XR also.
Just took last Effexor-XR, 37.5mg, this a.m.
Have had total meds switch which began just over a week ago.
Even mix of 100mg trazodone and 100mg Seroquel last night really didn't give me a good night of sleep, as I awoke too early.
I had been prescribed 300mg Seroquel for sleep by a P in hospital.
My P outside hospital said 'too much Seroquel' when told him was feeling like a 'zombie', and suggested take mix of 100mg Seroquel and go back on 100mg trazodone (Desyrel). Hospital P had discontinued trazodone.
Problem is, trazodone (Desyrel) gives me nightmares of persecution, while the Seroquel did not.
Problem is, Seroquel (quetiapine) gives me 'zombie' feeling, while Trazodone did not.
Asked my P for Ambien or something like that and he said 'no'.
Anyone w/ suggestion appreciated.
Wish I could go w/o trazodone.
Seroquel 300mg for sleep made me such a 'zombie' on awakening and through the entire day. I wonder if I should have given it more than a few days.
It is difficult to give a med w/ such side effects time to work when are alone and have no one to help you w/ your responsibilies, etc., while you are sort of incapacitated.
best wishes, cf
