> When I said Remeron, I meant in combination with Nardil. I thought you had tried Remeron for sleep while you were taking Nardil.Yes, I did but for only one night. I actually tried it before Ace. I did get some sleep with Remeron but woke up with a slight headache, but the main reason I did not continue was that I gained over 40 lbs on Remeron in a period of 6 months. I may try Rem again if my new pdoc decides not to Rx Trazodone with or without his knowledge because as you know in the US, at least in my case, Remeron is listed as being contraindicated and if my new pdoc follows the their PDR to the letter, he will not Rx Remeron either. Anyway, I still have a full bottle from my previous pdoc.
> Remeron, Trimipramine & Doxepin are heavily sedating AD's that can be used for sleep & safely combined Nardil. They are all potent H1 blockers(infinitely stronger than Benadryl) & 5-HT2A blockers(all equal or more potent than Trzodone or Serzone). I like Remeron because it has 5-HT3 blocking which is great for nausea but Doxepin is dirt cheap ($10 for 60 tablets) & easier to dose.

I agree with you but I am at the mercy of my new pdoc. Thanks for the info.
