"i&#039;m newly on cymbalta (still at 30mg) and experiencing insomnia. doctor put me on trazodone (50-100) to help the sleep issues. last night, i took one 50mg trazodone. felt sleepy within 30 minutes, but not enough to sleep. 

doc had said i could use 0.5-1mg ativan with it. so i took 0.5 and did fall asleep after another hour. however, i was up off and on all night!!

i have to get up early for work, so couldn&#039;t take any more meds over the night.

tonight i&#039;m going to take 100mg of the trazodone and pray it works. but i have doubts. this is the second sleep med she&#039;s prescribed that hasn&#039;t worked. first was belsomra. useless. 

i&#039;ll post how tonight goes."
