Wasn't sure where to put this so putting it in general meds forum.

I'm currently on 400mg quetiapine, 75mg venlafaxine and 7.5mg mirtazapine. At first, mirtazapine was incredible for sleep, and it was upped to 15mg. Then when I started quetiapine I was taken off mirtazapine, but quickly put back on it because the quetiapine didn't make me sleep, and just caused agitation.

Mirtazapine stopped making me sleep so I tried 50mg trazodone instead for about a month, but that didn't work so I went back to 7.5mg mirtazapine. It's not working though. Once I'm asleep, it's fine, but often I'm awake a long time, and then the side effects of quetiapine kick in (horrible restlessness) and it's a vicious circle.

So I figured I might as well stop mirtazapine since it's not working and making me crave sugar, but this idea didn't go down too well with the CPN. I'm not sure why because I'm only on it for sleep.

Does anyone know of any other sleep aids I could try? I'm keen to avoid benzos or zopiclone. Might it be worth trying to split the mirtazapine to 3.75mg?

Thank you
