I have insomnia and can't sleep without a sleeping pill. I'm also an addict so I'm not allowed any strong narcotics. Trazodone has worked very well for me. I've been taking it for over a year now. I started at 100mg and am now up to the max of 300mg/night. I will have to find another pill once this starts to become ineffective. But it puts me to sleep nicely and I don't feel anything linger the ne...
I have terrible insomnia and always searching for something to help me with this. I have tried this several times over the course of a year and did not like the way it made me feel the next day.

I had no ...

I have been taking Trazodone the last 9 nights in a row with great success, however, tonight it had very little effect. For whatever reason most medications stop working on me very quickly, especially pain medication. On the up-side I've rarely ever been sick, lately though I've had trouble sleeping, and that's reason for the Trazodone. I guess it was good while it lasted.
