"i was prescribed trazodone 50mg about 5 years ago when i went to my doctor complaining with horrible night sweats during my lengthy menopause and i was not getting a restful night of sleep.  he prescribed it for me more for the night sweats than the lack of sleep. my doctor was right%u2026 it really helped stop my night sweats. i stopped taking the medication for a while and the night sweats and sleepless nights came back within a few days.  i immediately started the medication again and problem solved. i sleep great and rarely have night sweats so that makes my husband very happy as he no longer has to freeze to death with my a/c%u2019s thermostat down so low all the time.  also another note%u2026 this medication did not give me any withdrawal symptoms."
