In reply to Help! Problems with Trazodone..., posted by TylerJ on March 7, 2006, at 15:56:35
Well first off many people used benadryl for insomnia alone,in fact i know actualy PERSONALY meaning real life people who use benadryl as a permanent sleep aid.
Just remeber bendaryl is the same EXACT active chemical in almost ALL your over the counter sleep aids,unisom,tyenol pm etc.My bro swears by it and hasent built any tolerance,he has his unisom nightly and sleeps fine.
I personaly dont like them,but i have heard many times of it being used as the main sleep aid with MAOIS so if that works for you,benadryl,theres a good chance u can just cut the trazadone and try that.
As for sleep,nothing is a good idea to use for sleep every night,unfortunatly some people feel,or actualy do HAVE to,but the idea of forced sleep alone is generaly not good.
These new sleep agents,lunesta.....ambien cr.......rezarem are all being brought out with the intention of long term use,unlike ur orginal ambien or benzo being used and not being recomended for long at all,these instead are with docs supervision supposed to be used somewhat long term.
I personaly HATE trazadone,why he feels its any better i dont know,its an anti depressant with accumative effects,meaning its gonna impact your parnate response more than one of the mentioned sleep aids,in theory anyway cause trazadone although taken at night is still a ANTI DEPRESSANT and in theory again is supposed to accumalte and produce anti depressant effects,i personaly dont see it being any better for u than lunesta or even more so rezarem.
Regardless your not dealing with insomnia,parnate is notorious to be a drug that inhibits night time sleep,perhaps its the metabolites becomming active at that time,which are supposed to be amphetmaine like,but i know upon taking parnate im likly to sleep where as its def a night time pain,ambien simply works for me,im ot till the 14th cause someone stole some meds from me in ny out of my bag,but i was even using partial tabs ambien works great when u dont take it right when u lay down but instead close to bed time,and forget about it,what i noticed was when i went to bed,i fell asleep.
I wouldent touch trazadone,its an ugly dirty old drug yuck ask ur doc why hes aganist say lunesta over trazadone when lunesta is allegedy ok for some what long term use.
