Sleeping and Trazodone, seroquel, methadone? help.....i need to sleep? I have been taking Effexor for quite some time due to my anxiety. I have been not sleeping for about a month now and my Dr upped my Trazonone to 200mg and it is not helping me stay asleep. My Dr just prescribed my Seroquel and i took one first night...no luck, now i took 2 last night. and still no luck. I need to sleep and I am getting very frustrated. I need others comments... also to add that I was on Methadone for 6 years and I quit cold turkey last month ..only 10 mls. Thanks for any suggestions....... i took 25 mg seroquil then 50 mg last night its not helping dr is lletting me try it for 1 week and if it does not help i think he said somthing about trying Celexel.....

I was put on 50mg of trazadone and then uped to 100mg. It stopped working and then I was but on Serquel. It seems to just knock me out in like 15 mins. I think maybe you should just possible up your Serquel because I do know that trazdone is not the strongest of sleeping medication. Trazdone is used for sleeping and anxiety so it has more then one purpose then sleeping. Serquel is the same way though but it stronger. You will probally just have to commuicate with your doctor to find what best fits you. There are many different options out there so dont be discoruraged.

I'm on Trazadone 250 mg a day... I was previously on Seroquel 600 mg a day, but I find Seroquel to work best for sleep, it knocked me out.
