"i suffer from insomnia derived from an anxiety disorder and major depressive disorder. i have taken trazodone 50mg for sleep for 10 days. the first night, i slept for 13 hours straight. i was extremely fatigued throughout the day for the first 4-5 days on this drug, but i was sleeping through the night for the first time in months, so that side effect was worth it to me. last night, i took the 50mg tablet, laid down to sleep, and woke up refreshed 9 hours later. no fatigue today whatsoever. this is the first time in a very long time that i woke up feeling well rested and (dare i say it) almost cheerful. take it a good hour before you want to be asleep in order to avoid tossing and turning at first."
