Zoloft vs. Remeron for Sleep Anxiety

Have been having problems sleeping last 2 months. Started with life change and now is self-sustaining due to sleep anxiety (even when I am relaxed and thinking about something else I believe my body is either conditioned to no longer sleep properly or the sleep anxiety is in my subconscious because I'm stay awake unless medicated).

I was taking Zopiclone for 3 weeks, then 5-htp for 2 weeks, then 7mg of Remeron for a few nights, which worked initially.

Otherwise I would get less than 1 hour per night. 7mg of Remeron has now stopped working (had to take Zopiclone last night to rectify but I do have tabs left. My doctor prescribed me Remeron a few weeks ago and a different doctor gave me Zoloft.

My questions:
Will a different dose of Remeron make me sleep if 7mg no longer works? I hear you get less sleepy as you go up that's why I haven't upped it. I also don't like the idea of it stopping working within a few months, which is what most people say?
Will Zoloft work for my sleep anxiety? I know it can cause insomnia itself but I figure this is a different type of insomnia, if it removed anxiety for me I'm thinking maybe it could be a long-term solution?

Any opinions/experiences appreciated, thanks :)

I suggest you try learning meditation to get yourself to sleep. After awhile the medications don't work as you build a tolerance to them. Doing it on your own is best.

Don't give up , you will find something to work.

ask your dr for ambien cr . its the bomb for even persistant insominia. once the zoloft kicks in you should sleep with out a sleep aid. it did for me. in the mean time nothing works better than ambien cr
