[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 158660"] I wholeheartedly second Sue on CBT. He's going to need to learn how to recognize when the anxiety is kicking up, as well as coping skills and CBT will go a very long way with that. On to the medications - risperdal and trazadone are very sedating. I took 25 mg trazadone (and I think I might have cut it in half) and I was a zombie until later afternoon the next day. Trazadone IS an antidepressant, but is often used for sleep because of it's sedative qualities. So, I'm not sure why the doctor is saying no to an antidepressant. Is the trazadone just for sleep? Have you tried melatonin or something a little less sedating? If he has the risperdal look already, I'm wondering why he would need something else for sleep. [/QUOTE]
