agree with Sad Panda re: good choice is remeron at 7.5 mg. dose, for the best sleep ever. disagree that it will not cause dizziness - the first night or 2 - that is how i chipped off my front tooth! fell flat on my face on tile floor from a standing position. think that is stated in the pharmacy hand-out. to avoid, just be aware of this start-up (only) effect. it will pass, but the great sleep will not.
only tried & true problem with remeron is the rapid weight gain/ carb cravings for most all users, moreso (for most) at the lower dosages - what a shame, as it's a great med for sleep and for upper & lower tummy distress. also some help for depression, lots of help for anxiety, and for ptsd; some improvement for ocd.
i despise trazadone, but for different reasons - major GERD/ tummy upset/ lower gi shutdown. doxepin less GERD/ shutdown, but take at no more than 25 mg., as also stated prior. some find that 10 mg. doxepin is enough for sleep. should then cause little hangover effect. ymmv.
