"so glad i found trazodone for sleep and anxiety issues. i take 50mg at night and finally my constant &quot;on the go&quot; mind is quieted so i can relax and sleep. have had no serious or disturbing side effects and i&#039;ve take it for two months. i also take ativan 1mg (for four years) 4 x&#039;s a day as needed. since my second month started on trazodone i don&#039;t have as much anxiety and can actually take an ativan &quot; as needed&quot; when as before i was popping them like tic-tacs to get through my anxiety filled days and nights. but, as we all know, we are all different. sidenote: i can&#039;t take ssris, they make feel worse. don&#039;t know why."
