Hi.
I have pretty bad Insomnia. (Benzo's, Zolpidem {Stilnox & Lunesta} OTC meds dont help)
Mirtazapine helped but weight gain is a major problem. I have been taking Seroquel - (quietapine) for about a year, it works well but I started on 50mg and now Im on 100mg and now 100mg is becoming inefective due to tollerance & the more I take the fatter, weaker, sweatier I get.
Im thinking of importing some Trazodone but have a few questions Im hoping you might be able to answer.Trazodone is less toxic on the liver then Nefazodone yeah?
Assuming you dont get liver failure from Trazodone is it still quite hard on the liver?
If I changed Antipsychotics for my Insomnia would I have just as high a tollerance for the new agent. (ie would my tolerance carry on from the Seroquel)? And are there any other good Anti-Psychs for Insomnia, preferably with less weight gain?
