im rx'd trazadone as well for insomnia. i take it almost every night and it helps me sleep so well. in larger doses it is a anti-depressant, but i have not noticed any of those effects in the lower dose i take. it does have some bad side effects. 1. if you dont try to go to bed within an hour of taking trazadone, you start to feel kinda shitty and have a headache type side effect. 2. horrible dry mouth when i wake up. 3. somewhat of a hangover type feeling the morning after, but nothing too bad. i just drink a cup of coffee and im ready to go.
i was on ambien, but i think the trazadone works a million times better than ambien. it puts me to sleep any time i cant sleep.
