> LinkadgeYes, I've taken both Remeron and trazodone, both alone and in combination with others. Thank you for reminding me of this. It's just that with Parnate, my pdoc is unwilling to prescribe any other antidepressants. Some of the SGAs are sleep-enhancing, specifically Zyprexa and Seroquel. I would love to have access to Seroquel but my pdoc and I made a contract for me never to take it again because it makes me stuff sugar and carbohydrates into my face. I'm thirty pounds overweight (I'm six feet tall and weigh 230 lbs) and that is all due to the Seroquel-gorging. The Zyprexa *does* help for sleep.
