In reply to Re: Effexor w/ Traz or Remeron; which better for sleep, posted by redjr on May 16, 2005, at 11:01:15
Redjr,
Sorry the Cymbalta didn't work out. Jury's still out w/Effexor for me. Depression had made dating out of the question for me, so I'm not as concerned about the sexual SE's, but if/when I feel well enough to date, hopefully that SE will have abated. Who knows...
Now, I have taken Remeron for about six months. If your depression is an agitated one, and your really in a pit, it'll pull you out and give you the best sleep you've ever had. You do get accustomed to the sedation, but for me, it never fully went away (I'm talking daytime now). The sleep it provides is seductive though. It's wonderful if you've had really bad insomnia.
Good luck with it. Check back in on this thread if you feel like it and let me know how it goes.
Take care...
