Suggest Treatment For Severe Insomnia

I have severe insomnia and seroquel works at 500mg...but I gained 20 lbs. n 4 months so I switched to Trazadone at 300mg and then I went to 600mg. I don t go to sleep. Can I take 50mg of Seroquel to put me asleep. It s been 4 hrs. not and haven t fallen asleep yet. So my question is can I mix a low dosage of Seroquel while I am on Trazadone 300mg.

NO never mix seroquel with trazadone more so don't take 2 within 8-10 hour of each other since it can cause serotonin syndrome -palpitation sweating shivering tremor muscle twiches and more so it will cause insomnia
so is there any anxiety that is preventing you from sleep? if thats there then try to releive it by meditation take alpraZOLAM 0.25 mg it will get you to sleep
I find this answer helpful
