i had lots of trouble falling asleep and i also woke up w/ the startle during the night after i discontinued the remeron. v. troubled sleep, like only 2-3 continuous hours/night. but it did get better and i'm sleeping all the way thru now. i still frequently wake in the morning after 6-7 hours of sleep with some anxiety, but that just might be stress.
i really liked trazadone. it was very mild, non habit forming, and didn't cause a hangover for me. i was on a v. low dose, maybe 5 or 10 mg? i can't remember. i stopped taking it when i started the remeron bcs rem. made me sleep. trazadone was originally developed just as an AD but because of its nice sedative effect they usu. prescribe it primarily for sleeping but of course the AD effect doesn't hurt either.
hang in there johnnyj.
take care,
jules
