"it has been a life saver for me and my insomnia.  i&#039;ve tried other medications before like ambien but with my anxiety, it was not effective in helping me fall asleep.  i&#039;ve been using trazodone for years now without any complications.  for me, it works instantly or up to the most 10 minutes, depending on my dosage.  in the days that i don&#039;t have because i&#039;m waiting on my refill, i never get to sleep when i want/need to."
