"i take 200mg of trazodone and 3mg eszopiclone (lunesta) every night and have for the past 2 years.  my trouble is not falling asleep but rather being able to stay asleep. if i didn&#039;t use medication i would only sleep 3-4  hours a night. i believe the trazodone does make me groggy but the sleep is most important. those who say it causes nightmares or crazy dreams, this is true, but those cease after a week or two on the medication."
