"i took trazadone for nearly 15 years to help me sleep and loved it.  i feel asleep within 30 minutes and didn&#039;t feel crumby the next day.  after all of that time i suddenly had a side effect that i couldn&#039;t stand and had to get off of it.  every time i took it i suddenly felt completely congested and couldn&#039;t breath through my nose.  (this is a rare side effect listed with this medication).  my mouth would be so dry and sometimes i&#039;d even wake up feeling like i was choking.  i&#039;m so grateful it worked for so long and wish j could still take it.  i can&#039;t find that same rest with anything else i&#039;ve been trying."
