Hi,
I just got given some trial samples of respirdal to help me sleep.
I used to be on trazodone, which abruptly stopped working once I tried to change my AD from paxil to lexapro. Well, that didnt work, and now I am on paxil cr at 75mgs which seems to be fine for me. I have tried remeron (made me groggy and eat way too much) and ambien, which would put me to sleep after tossing and turning, purchasing things off the internet that I didnt remember for hours.
I know that respirdal is an anti-psychotic medication, and I am wondering if I should be concerned with it's other pharmocological effects. I'm actually kinda wigged out that I am taking some heavy medication just to help me sleep.
I'm not bi-polar either, just unipolar. Is anyone out there just taking this medication to help them sleep? How did it work for you? Is there anything other than tardic diskonesia that I should be worried about?
