Should I be looking at something different for my sleep meds? Pdoc wants me off the seroquel soon, and won't really increase the Zopiclone because 7.5 mg is the PI maximum. I've tried trazadone and nortrypritylline in the past for sleep, and both left me excessively "fuzzy" the next day. Remeron works OK, but is contraindicated w/ the Nardil. Heavier benzos also work, but I am trying my hardest to avoid them. Any ideas?

> DanThanks for everyones comments and advice. Maybe I will just see how I do on 5-6 hours of sleep for a while. If it becomes an issue, I'll look at changing sleeping drugs or adding something else. But maybe 5-6 hours is enough for the long term...
