I prefer Remeron for sleep over trazodone (I "slept" but did not *rest*--not a pleasant experience) and the tricyclics (Tofranil-PM was sedating, but it wasn't at all "clean"). There's the whole weight gain/daytime sedation thing to consider, but going above 15mgs helped me. Unfortunately, Remeron seems to be most sedating and effective when used at depression-treatment levels; my particular mood disorder reacts weirdly to antidepressants sometimes, with an increase in mild swings up and down. Good luck!
