hello i am diagnosed for MDD with psychosis, i am currently taking cymbalta and abilify every morning and i have actually experimenting some side effects from this medication like insomnia , my doctor prescribe me trazodone for sleep but do not work, i still have insomnia , i know that remeron soltab is good for sleep problems and is a good combo for cymbalta. please give me an answer if i can quit trazodone and go for remeron. thanks..

I would ask your doctor if he think Remeron might be a better choice since the Trazodone is not working. Many people on the boards have said that Remeron helps them a great deal with sleep.

I'm starting Cymbalta with Abilify add on tomorrow. have been resistant to all antidepressants so far except EMSAM, which I am unable to take due to extreme site reaction.

anyone else on this duo? I'd like to hear more from any of you trying them together.

Sure am hoping it will work.
