Well, I went to my new pdoc last week. He advised we do away with my Seroquel (25mg) and 300mg of the 1200mg of lithium. And He added trazodone (25mg). He talked to me for very close to an hour to get background stuff.

When I left the office his secretary gave me his card and said for me to call anytime I needed, calls are free

So, after the 3rd day of no sleep (I went up from Trazodone 25mg to 50mg) I called him. Meantime I had to go back to seroquel for sanity reasons. So, when I called him I got his machine but he called back 3 times until we hooked up. I was starting to freak out a little because lack of sleep is a major trigger point for me.

He said he knows nobody who gets insomnia from trazodone so he wanted me to go to 100mg. That worked like a charm. I've been sleeping like a baby and have NONE of the hangover effects that came with seroquel.

So, the insomnia wasn't from the trazodone, it was removing a great sleeping aide (seroquel) and replacing it with not enough trazodone.
