I'm looking for people's opinions on using Trazodone for insomnia. My doctor prescribed me it today when I told him I suffer from occasional insomnia, didn't offer anything like ambien first which I'm not surprised at.
I won't be trying it tonight but if it works, I'll stick to it. I read though that sometimes if you don't fall asleep within 45 minutes or so it actually keeps you up because it converts to mCPPP in the body. Is this true ? My dosage is 50mg. I'm aware it acts on 5-HT which would lead me to further believe it has the possibility of causing me to stay up. Also that it causes extreme grogginess in the morning.
I'm not depressed in any way and the doctor knows that. He told me it was an old anti depressant no longer prescribed as such and that it causes, in my case, wanted drowsiness.
I'm not looking to get high off of whatever drug works for my insomnia, just to get to sleep right then and there, so whether it be Trazodone or Ambien, I don't care.
