"i&#039;ve been on trazadone for years. went into menopause due to hysterectomy and suffered from insomnia and my sister was on it so i tried. my experience is a positive one, i started at 50mg and made my way to 100mg at bedtime only. i have found on an empty stomach i can suffer nausea so i tend to eat a few crackers prior so this doesn&#039;t happen. occasionally, i&#039;ll feel hyper but that&#039;s a rare occasion. all in all, i&#039;ve been using it for years and now i&#039;m actually only taking 50mg at bedtime and if i wake and can&#039;t get back to sleep i&#039;ll take another 50mg. i&#039;ve never woken groggy like i have with other sleep aids so for me it works."
