"i have ptsd as a result of the 1968 tet offensive.  it got much worse after i retired.  a good night&#039;s sleep became 2 hours of uninterrupted sleep.  va had me on prozac which did nothing for the sleep but helped in my awake hours.  then i was given trazadone 50 mg and told to split it in half 1 hour before bed.  i was also told not to increase the dose, but cutting in half again,may help.  i did this and now sleep the night getting 6 to 7 hours with only one short break.  dreams are back after becoming all but nonexistant other than flashbacks.  my life is greatly improved."
