Hello Chris,
By no means do I have enough experience to give you great advice on sleeping, but I did go through a period on 20mg Paxil alone when I just could not get sleep, and when I did, I slept so lightly that I felt like I hadn't slept at all.
I take 7.5mg Remeron each night, which is, a 15mg pill cut in half. I did this on my own, as 15mg was too much for me, I was too tired all day to function in any real laborious way. I am not recommending this before talking to your doctor though, as I know there can be many side effects from mixing ADs.
It works well for me, though, seems to be fast-acting, and I take it right before bed, I am asleep in 10-15 minutes, which is actually better than I ever did without meds. Paxil alone keeps me up, but the minimal side effects of Remeron, for me, are worth the great sleep that I get.
Anyways, my 2 cents...
Best regards,
Rick E.
