"before starting my recovery i took ambien for sleep which worked well.  after starting recovery for alcoholism the doctor advised i had to stop taking ambien because it is a narcotic.  trazadone works great for me, although the 50 mg was not enough for a full nights sleep.  i started with 100mg and am now on 150 mg.  i sleep like a baby and am refreshed in the morning.  i&#039;d recommend this to anyone suffering from insomnia."
