I'm sick of it. It's getting so frequent now.

I was on Ambien for insomnia, which was great until it pooped out. I had no dreams (at least that I could remember), so when I switched to trazadone, I figured it would be kind of nice for a change to dream....I was wrong.

My dreams for the past year have all been very tense...but the past month or so they are all nightmares. And very graphically violent nightmares. Last night involved cut up body parts that I had to dispose of.
They make me jerk awake in a very anxious state. I go from being in the dream to TOTAL consciousness in about 5 seconds....

I would like to add that my taste in TV viewing is very mild...NEVER any violence. I don't even care for suspense.

I already suffer from depression and anxiety and this is really putting a strain on me. I dread going to bed.

Any ideas? Comments? Words of comfort?
I have tried all of the typical sleep remedies that are suggested all over the internet....
