I hated Trazadone. Gave me shortness of breathe and had chest pains for two weeks straight
Glad it works for some

I feel your pain, Paige. I have horrible insomnia and always have. Started having panic attacks pretty much non-stop, a psychiatrist prescribed Mirtazapine...I gained 40 freaking pounds. I quit taking that and they put me on something else, that caused brain zaps, plus trazodone for sleep.
I never took the trazodone. Figured out it wasn't actually psychological, it was hormonal. And there ain't NOTHING they can do to treat that.
So, now I meditate and do yoga to help with sleep and fantasize about killing people to help calm the rage.
Hope you find something to work for you.

I've always had insomnia myself, even when I was a baby and small child I didn't nap at all. As I got older I tried everything to "fix" it and found things that worked, but all of them would make me feel worse than just not sleeping.
Now I just lean into the insomnia instead of trying to fight it. I get stuff around the house done late at night, keep myself entertained, and don't let the thought of "WHY CAN'T I SLEEP!" drive me crazy.
I learned the key for me was never laying down before I was positive I could fall asleep, and not rushing it before then. I sleep maybe 2 hours a night and wake up feeling great. There's some nights I don't sleep at all and still feel great.
Some people just don't need 8 hours, but they drive themselves crazy trying to get it. The crazier it makes them the more pressure they put on themselves, the more they're in their own head, the more it becomes the thing that actually keeps them awake. It's a viscious circle.

Jesus I’m sorry to hear that. I have chronic pain from Thoracic outlet syndrome and haven’t been able to get a good nights sleep in months.
I’m so afraid of becoming addicted to sleeping pills but If I don’t take something I’m up all night

I need a sleep aid nightly
Ambien won’t work every day. My psychiatrist eventually told me to take it 4 nights a week then skip 3 to keep its effectiveness. Um no. I not gonna not sleep half of every week

So what works for you? I’ve tried it all
Anything natural is a waste. The only thing that helps is a Benzo and I’m scared to take it every night. I save it for the night before an early flight or meeting where I’m very anxious

I wish I knew what to ask for
I can’t take seroquel, I build up a tolerance to ambien quickly. Klonopin worked well but my new psychiatrist is anti benzos
Doxepin is like candy and belsomra did nothing

Do you feel like shite if you don't get a full night's sleep, or are you generally ok?
Have you actually tried to stop fighting the insomnia and just roll with it?

It is of most antipsychotics

I understand that
But also some meds are activating at lower doses but sedating at higher doses

I’ve taken remeron before but it causes too much of an increased appetite and I don’t want to gain weight
Posted on 10/4/19 at 9:19 pm to dallastiger55
Trazadone, remeron, seroquel, klonopin

I wish they would just legalize HTC
I work with some insomniacs at our Denver office that said HTC gummies before bed have cured them

I can go and go and go and will eventually crash. I rarely sleep more than 2 hours without waking up. If i wake up I either watch tv, play a game on my iPad or just lay there. If I wake up anxious, I’ve been known to leash my dogs and take them for a walk. We don’t do that much, but sometimes it’s the best thing.
I also have a meditation app on my phone that I use sometimes.
Someone who’s never dealt with insomnia really just doesn’t get it. It can be brutal. There are days I’m so tired that all I want to do is cry. I usually crash shortly thereafter

Got a sweet htc exodus. Doesn’t help me sleep at all.

Increasing doses of trazodone gives you decreasing returns, in regards to sleep. If 150 mg doesn’t help, find another sleep aid.

Oh I know, but she wasnt taking any chances. She was up at like 3 am sobbing in the bed trying not to wake me up but finally had to. It was bad.
