Racer,
You know a lot about sleep...here's my problem. Been on Parnate for approx 5 weeks, and am doing very well except for sleep deprivation. My Pdoc has me on Trazodone for insomnia. He won't do Lunesta or ambien because he says they are a type of Benzo. I also take Ativan 4-6 tabs a day...but it doesn't help much as I have been on it for 20 plus years. I am currently trying to ween myself off ativan and my doc is all for it, he says to go down by 1mg or 1/2 mg per week. He said I could go up to 400mgs. of Traz if needed for sleep. I did try 400 a few times and it worked beautifully for sleep, the problem is that the next day I'm wiped out-hungover and tired all day long. Pisses me off because it's ruining my great response to Parnate. I also take 50 mgs. of Benadryl at night. I've tried everything..Traz alone doesn't work, Benadrl by itself doesn't work for me either. But, I did reduce my traz to 250 gs. at night, but it doesn't work all the time at this dose and though it's not as bad, I'm still tired the next day.
I respect your opinions and look forward to what you have to say about this. Can remeron be used with maoi's for insomnia? Thankyou in advance.Tyler
