Trazodone was, and is, the most reliable sleep aid for me. Nothing ever came close. Ambien never gave me more than 4 hours' sleep; Temazepam was definitely better but I did not want to get addicted, so I weaned off of it back onto Trazodone. I think it may contribute to the taste distortion problems I've had lately, but those problems seem less bad than they did a few weeks ago, and I really needed the sleep badly.
Paxil made me gain weight, but it always gave me a full night's sleep when I took it before bedtime. It's too bad that antidepressants have caused you such trouble. I wish I could say something more helpful. Good luck and hang in there, Jaded -- and Robin too. I really hope you get the help you need.
