Confusion about Meds, Please help

Posted by Theon on August 08, 2003 at 17:06:43:

Ive had ongoing bouts with insomnia over the years and only recently sought medical help. I was given Ambien from the ER after a horrible two week episode that left me days without sleep. It worked wonders. I held on the the ambien as long as I could. I could fall asleep fine without it just knowing I had something to take just incase. When I had no more ambien the insomnia slowing returned. I saw a doctor and he gave me Trazadone. Trazadone made me feel aweful, I was more tired than ever but I experienced an
anxiety words can not describe. The doc now gave me Remeron and Zyprexa. He says the remeron is for depression (the cause?) and Zyprexa is for sleep. I searched the net looking for cases where these drugs were used together, no luck.
I only have the Zyprexa as of now, (2.5mg pills) Will this help me sleep/stay asleep tonight? Please respond if you have any helpful info. Thank you.
