"i have suffered from insomnia on and off, ever since my husband died 3 years 7 months ago. sometimes i get sleep for no longer then a couple of hours. at times i don&#039;t get any sleep at all for 4 to 5 nights. when that happens i feel like a zombie, can&#039;t function, i get very irritable and i don&#039;t want anyone around me. my doctor has put me on different kind of sleeping pills, but none of them worked. i just can&#039;t take it anymore. after complainig about it again and again (i&#039;m afraid if i don&#039;t get any kind of sleep eventually i will go over the edge) my doctor finally prescribed 100mg of trazodone. after years of little or no sleep, i managed to get a whole 6 hours of sleep.
