"i&#039;m a 24 year old female and i began taking trazodone 6-7 months ago. i&#039;ve taken 1 100mg pill  every. single. night... . because my insomnia is so chronic that i will go 10-12 days with hardly any sleep and can&#039;t function at work or school which is really messing my life up. the only reason i started taking the trazodone was out of desperation and at first things were tolerable. every night i take it it knocks me out within 20 mins exactly and even if i take it 10 hours before waking i still feel hungover , dizzy , tired , and groggy all day. no amount of coffee or espresso will fix this . 3 nights ago i took it as usual and was gasping for air and had to rush to er from chest pain and shallow breathing. nasty drug, don&#039;t form a habit on it"
