"i have had trouble sleeping since i was 18 years old. i was ignored by my doctor. 32 years later when i started going to a new doctor that would listen to me she put me on 50mg trazadone. my life is so much better. i can get to sleep and stay asleep. there are no more disruptive repetitive thoughts and waking up screaming. i have been on it 4 years now and have no intention of going off of it. i suspect maybe a slight weight gain, but i am not absolutely sure it is the medicine causing it."
