>Panda - I agree - to use an AP for insomnia IS excessive. Plus it has caused me to gain almost 80 pounds. I have terrible insomnia. I wouldn't be against using Remeron for sleep - but I just don't want any weight gain. Plus, The hangover from Seroquel and Trazodone (ugh - the WORST med - makes me feel like my head is being forced underwater) is causing major problems with me getting to work. Perhaps Remeron isn't so bad????
