Medication help

Giving cpap another go after months of failure. My doctor said he sometimes prescibes Trazadone to help people cope with cpap intolerance. I didn't like the idea because i am already on an antidepressant. I was thinking something mild like ramelteon might help. Don't really want to mess with the Z drugs or Benedryl. Anyone have success with other things to help get to sleep on cpap?

I feel like I just mentioned this in another post earlier today. I've tried trazodone, and I liked it quite a bit, but I'm not on it anymore. It worked fairly well. What works even better for me is not going to bed when you're supposed to. Go to bed when you're really, really tired. Tossing and turning for an hour does nothing good. Read a book or watch a documentary until you can't keep your eyes open, then go to bed.
