"this is a true story. i started taking trazodone 50 mg eight months ago when i was so stressed out because my son was addicted to ambien i passed out at work. he was crazy on the ambien and i was crazy worrying about him! the doctor prescribed trazodone and i&#039;ve been taking it every night since then. i don&#039;t know what i would do without it! in one nights i still wake up several times, but overall i sleep 100% better. i would love to be off of it but for this time in my life, it&#039;s been a lifesaver."
