I think that I would try the Trazodone before Remeron if sleep is the only problem. I'm assuming that your depression is under control because you said that the 40 mg of Prozac is working well.
> > Hi. I am taking .75 generic Xanax; sometimes 1 mg for AD induced somnia. I take 40 mg of Prozac which works well. I am taking generic Xanax about 4 or 5 months. I never take it in the daytime. Should I try Trazodone?
> > It's counsin, Serzone, was a lousy AD for me, but a lot of people, including my friend swear by Trazdone for sleeping. What about Remeron? I don't like Ambien, 10 mg barely works and I'm up in 4 hours and can't go back to sleep. I wake up with the Xanax but usually can go back to sleep. Is it safe; should I switch. I see my pdoc in 3 weeks. Any suggestions what I should ask for? What about another benzo? No? Any opinions out there? Thanks, guys/gals.
