"in june 1999 i had a triple bypass.  my cardiologist, knowing of sleep problems with bypass patients, prescribed 100mg trazodone at bedtime. i went to sleep within 5 minutes of lying down. after 5 or 6 years we doubled the dose. there have been a few nights when i forgot to take it and lie in bed tossing/turning until i realized what had happened. i get up and take it and am asleep within 15 or 20 min. i can&#039;t imagine life without trazodone."
