____________________________________________________________________Hi Marsha,
Trazodone is commonly used as a sleep aid for the insomnia caused by Nardil. When I first started Nardil eleven years ago, that is what I used. I quit because I would wake up with a really hazy, drugged out feeling. Currently I use 2mg of clonazepam along with 25mg of Seroquel for sleep. This is the best combination I have found. Seroquel, even at the low dosage of 25mg can make you feel a little drugged in the morning. This side effect seems to have passed with me, and I always sleep.I have found no problems with two or three cups of coffee in the morning. I don't drink it all day. In fact, my depression is worse in the morning, and the coffee seems to shake me out of it. Acts as a mild stimulant. Caffeine is a drug.
Good Luck,
Jedi
