"after suffering from general anxiety disorder (gad) for 40 years, trazodone is a great drug to help me with anxiety and sleep. to help with gad i went on a strict diet of no coffee and alcohol, also  i limited  me bread and sugar. this was the major tools for me against my fight with gad. also,  i have not been able to have a deep restful sleep in many years. typically, i would toss and turn all night long. the trazodone gives me a deep restful sleep every night. 200 mg. of  trazodone also helps me stay calmer and less anxiety during the day."
