In reply to Xanax.Trazodone, or what for Sleeping????, posted by Joy on April 12, 2001, at 19:15:16
Have you thought about over-the-counter stuff like plain old Benadryl or Tylenol Simply Sleep?
Another option that you may not have thought of is the atypical neuroleptics Risperdal, Zyprexa, or Seroquel. These have been successfully used as sleep aids and as antianxiety agents--I took them all at one time or another for that purpose. Seroquel was my favorite.
> 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.
