"i have been on trazodone between 25 and 75 mg for the past 17 years. i have other chronic mental health diagnoses and the trazodone works well without sedating me. i have occasional sleepiness or grogginess the next day, but not really very often. i have dreams that are more lucid and colorful when i take trazodone, i also have sleep atnia and don&#039;t go into rem sleep unless i&#039;m wearing my cpap, presiden seems to help me get into their rem sleep so that i can dream. it depends on what else is going on with me with the chronic conditions, sometimes my trazodone is less effective when my other conditions are unstable. but i believe that is because of the other conditions. it has improved the quality of my life significantly."
