"in the last year i&#039;ve lost my husband, my job, and as a result, i relapsed. alot of stress, anxiety, and little sleep.  i am now 6 months clean. began taking trazadone 6 mos ago. after a few months it was not helping me long term.  it would some what relax me, i&#039;d fall asleep, but suddenly, i was awoke after about 3 hrs .  after communicating that, i was told that because of my weight gain now weighing 198, height (5&#039;3&quot;)  that contributed to the non effectiveness, and the fact that on the end of my treatment, i was no longer taking some of the other meds. anyways, once my dosage was increased to 100mg, and   i&#039;ve felt so at ease, and have slept through the whole night like a baby.   thank god for trazadone,  2 thumbs up."
