"my doctor prescribed trazodone for sleeplessness and anxiety. i did sleep, however over time, i had daytime hallucinations, bad dreams, loss of memory, trouble talking, loss of focus, anxiety, swelling on the back of my head, ringing in my ears, and insomnia. after six months, i weaned myself off of the medication and felt horrible. it took me 3 weeks to get back to normal. i slept only 2, to 3 hrs per day over a week and then 4 hrs, then 7. this medication was bad for me, over time. i taught myself to sleep without medication."
