sleep problems

I currently take 150 mg of Trazodone but have a prescription for 100-300 mg.  My family doctor prescribed the Trazodone so you shouldn't have a problem.  You must have a severe problem with having to take the Ativan too.  That's hard to deal with.  Do you have a groggy feeling in the a.m.?  I used to prior to the surgery because I was on so much meds that make one tired.  I used to be on Benidril 50 mg for alergies and sleep, some high blood pressure meds, the vicodin for chronic pain, Robaxin (muscle relaxant), Sulnac (sp ?) (anti-inflamitory).  I currently am only on the Trazodone and Gabapentin at night.

no, i don't feel groggy in the am.  if i don't take both together i can't sleep on just one or the other.  sleep meds don't work for me unless i double dose and take ativan.  if i don't take i only get 2-3 hours of sleep a night if that. vick

 

EXPERIENCE WITHOUT REFLECTION IS HOLLOW

That's hard, I'm sure.  I got a longer night's sleep last night.  I woke up to my husband getting up 3x in the night but I was able to fall back to sleep eventually.  so that was good.  I see my doctor on the 24th so will talk to her about it.
