"i work nights and have struggled to sleep during the day for over a year. i&#039;ve tried melatonin, otc sleep aids, completely darkened room, etc etc. i went to my doc last week and was prescribed trazodone to start at 25 mg. i still didn&#039;t sleep better than usual. yesterday i took the 50 mg and became violently ill an hour after, my heart was racing for remainder of the day and i was dizzy. i admit i was terrified i was dying because i&#039;d never felt that way before. needless to say, i&#039;m not going to continue with this drug."
