Trazadone, Doxepin?
Posted: Sat Aug 01, 2020 2:18 pm
Primary doctor is recommending Trazadone or Doxepin on top of the Lyrica I am taking for PLMD. Lyrica 200 mg. working well on legs (has been working well even at much lower dosages) but not on onset and maintenance insomnia, plus the Lyrica causes daytime sedation so I am hoping I might successfully reduce the dose and have it still work on legs (not likely, but hope springs eternal).
I have tried both Doxepin and Trazadone before but from my notes I am not sure what is what because I was taking multiple things and also wasn't aware of many triggers at the time. So my question is whether these can exacerbate RLS/PLMD? I often have paradoxical reactions to drugs, and yes, I know we are all unique, but I still would appreciate any best guess scenarios.
Thanks in advance.
