"i have been taking trazodone for over 7 years. was prescribed for insomnia and as long as i take it, it&#039;s fantastic. sleep like a baby. takes about an hour for it to work and will cause nausea on an empty stomach. if i don&#039;t go to bed within an hour of taking this medicine, i will be staggering around running into walls, furniture, etc.  tried many different sleep meds and this one was the only one that worked for me. i believe it has also provided benefits with treatment for depression and anxiety, although never formally diagnosed."
