"i finally had to get some help after years of debilitating insomnia. my doctor prescribed me trazadone at a 50mg dose. however my wife advised me to start with a quarter of a pill (12.5mg) to see how i reacted. it&#039;s a good thing i took her advice, just a quarter of a pill knocks me out all night. also as an added bonus i noticed that my mood is better since starting trazadone, something i did not expect."
