"i have been on trazodone for about 5 years. i started at 25mg and have gone up as high as 150mg. before taking trazodone i needed wine to fall asleep. i could not sleep. i suffered from bad insomnia and anxiety. i took a mixture of klonopin and trazodone prescribed by my sleep dr. 
it is a wonder medicine. since starting to take it 5 years ago, i have had about 2 nights where i couldn&#039;t fall asleep in 15 minutes.
one thing to note: when i used to be on my phone/ipad before bed, i had a hard time falling asleep with it. once i started reading before bed, i would take the med, read and pass out in 15 mins or so. no night wakings. i would allow yourself at least 7 hrs of sleep after taking the med."
