MOLIPAXIN: THIS IS SIMPLY AN ANTIDEPRESSANT THAT HAS A SIDE EFFECT OF AIDING SLEEP - ITS AN OFF LABLE USE. IF ITS NOT WORKING NOW THEN NO USE IN TAKING THIS. GET A SLEEP STUDY AND THEN YOU MAY WANT TO TRY VALERIAN OR LUNA - NATURAL COMPOUNDS.

Tolerance: You are taking a form of trazodone, and the effects are dose related. Often, dose titration is needed upwards to maintain effect, as in many cases, tolerance develops with loss of benefit. So, simply work closely with your doctor to find the best dose, or even a different medication.
