Back track, Trazodone has some anti-histamine properties
which Remeron also does. Besides that they are not
too similar. I grew tolerant to Benadryl sleep
properties but not Remeron.-John

But then I think of how awful I feel when I lie in bed for ten hours without sleeping. I spend the next day crying and feeling totally depressed and worthless and hopeless. And then I sleep two hours the next night, and the cycle continues for four days.
