Trouble being able to sleep more than 3-4 hours before

I take 75-100 mg Trazadone and that helps me get to sleep but doesn’t last as long as I’d like. I’ve actually started using a heating pad around my neck and shoulders when I wake up in the middle of the night and that helps me fall back to sleep. It’s on pretty low so I don’t think its dangerous.

I, too tried melatonin—1 mg worked for a couple days, then I tried 1.5 mg with same result. So, now I take 25 mg of Benadryl at bedtime (a bit before if I remember!) and I get a pretty good night of sleep. I am down to 7.5 mg of prednisone now, have been going down 2.5 mg every 2-3 weeks since April 30th.

Wishing you (and all of us) better health soon!
