"i&#039;ve been seeing a mental health doctor at my va for 5 months and i kept telling her i haven&#039;t had a night of full sleep in years, the mental health physician prescribed me trazodone - the first 3 nights my sleep got better but day 4,5 and 6 i was the most depressed i&#039;ve ever felt, i&#039;m always an up beat person and i fell into a dark space and had a pistol in my hand crying my eyes out - luckily i reached out to a dear friend of mine who talked me down and listened to me, i quit trazodone and now i&#039;m taking melatonin for sleep - way better - 

avoid this drug as a sleep aid !"
