He said if I can't lose the weight what we will do is lower the seroquel and add trazodone. I have tried basically everything for sleep. I have been on several meds at once and would still have to add 4 Benadryl and NyQuil. I suffer from OCD and GAD as well, which adds to the insomnia.

That is a tough case to be sure. OCD+GAD=what a sleep-killing combo!
I still do not understand why the pdoc wants to wait and see before trying to mix a lower dose of Seroquel with Trazodone. What is he waiting for?
