I’m on a combo of Ambien and Seroquill. I knock out for exactly two hours and then. I’m just awake.

@laurabamford4015 I'm confused. Are you saying that you take 100mg Trazodone and sleep well but uyou're afraid if you up it to 150mg. you won't sleep through? I ask because I take 150mg and sleep through about 7 hours.

I can usually fall asleep with 50 but sometimes it takes 100 or 150 for me to fall asleep. But sometimes even that doesn’t work for hours.

@barbaradh Off and on, for 15 years. Whenever my body starts tolerating it, I go off it and deal with the insomnia in other ways. But I always end up going back on it.

Out of everything I've tried the only thing that truly helps me is CBD and THC gummies

@mmwagner46 you are very fortunate Trazodone works for you. All it did for me was cause balance issues and blurry vision so obviously I’m not taking it now. Old age ( 79) and sleep meds can be tricky. I’m now trying vagus nerve stimulation and natural remedies.

I’m 76.
After many meds that left me feeling like a zombie, I researched progesterone. My GP prescribed 100mg capsules, I take one at bedtime. Doesn’t conflict with my diltiazem as the others did.
I’ve had 3 nights of great sleep and feel alive again.
Obviously not for guys.

Lunesta and prazosin-got off Seroquel after 10 years was the best thing I did

@tisme This sounds like my husband's problem. Could you tell us what dosage of magnesium glyconate and L-thenanine you are taking?

@joyceinil It doesnt help me get to sleep I took it at about 6pm and was still awake at 2am last night but it might help you one a day 400 milligram L-theanine and magnesium glycinate 956mg mg
