I developed insomnia after taking a steroid (budnesonide) for two and a half weeks. I immediately could not sleep, lost 13 lbs,etc. So I had to go off without weaning. I am taking trazodone to sleep and getting no rem and only 3 to 4 hrs of deep sleep. Unfortunately I will now have to wean off that as it is an antidepressant. Then I have to find a sleep aid. My cortisol level is still high. Any help would be appreciated.
