"i have been taking trazodone since 1999, to sleep. due to my panic disorder and depression that is caused by my panic attack i could not sleep. went to hospital in 1999, was admitted and my life changed. i was put on paxil 30mg, xanax 0.5mg 3 times a day and trazodone 100mg at night. i have had no problem with this drug at all, no side effects. tried to sleep without it a few times and i could not. it works great for me and always has. at night before i started trazodone i could not breath cause of my panic i would lay my head off the bed just to breath now i take one at night and i am asleep within a half an hour and i sleep for 8 hrs."
