Insomnia is a symptom, rather than a disease, and is characterized by inadequate quantity or quality of sleep.

I normally post on the fibromyalgia board, but need help with Trazodone for sleep.
I started out on 50 mg, but it did not help me any at all so Dr increased to 100 mg and it seems like it is giving me insomnia rather than helping me sleep!
Is it time to stop taking it and try something else, or do I need to increase it more? Is it not working with my other meds?
Here are the meds I take each night:
Trazodone 100mg
synthroid .137 mg
Flexeril 20 mg
Lexapro 20 mg each morning (made me wide awake if taken at night).
I have even tried a glass of wine or 2 or a couple of beers (supposed to increase the effects-doesn't help)
Please help! Any suggestions would be very helpful.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
