I have trouble sleeping and use trazadone, 75 mg or more, to get to sleep. I am in a fog for a good 45 minutes going through life like a robot. Whichever mood I will be in comes on gradually; one of the few blessings of the trazfog. Lately it is usually a low key sulk until something jump starts my thoughts and it is off to the races. This seems to be due to the latuda and lamictal; I didn't have a parking gear before. Now I often start the day feeling I am neutral or on my way down and then the light turns green and I am burning rubber. I prefer being up to being down as I am type II but when I am up it means that the trazadone is a given and may be 150 mg, so the fog will roll back in tomorrow.

I have tried other sleep meds. Ambien worked for a while but when it didn't work as well I had a hard time getting off of it. OTC stuff doesn't do it for me. Also, I take a high enough traz dose that it is part of my AD regimen.
