"4 years ago i came down with massive anxiety which led to insomnia (still this way).  my doctor started me off on 50mg a night.  didn&#039;t work.  so...i was prescribed 100mg a night, not bad.  now i take 100-150mg a night and it does pretty good.  some nights, like tonight, i wake up and can&#039;t go back to sleep but won&#039;t take anymore as i would wake up with a migraine.  i take trazadone about 1/2 before bed but have to eat something small or i get dizzy quickly.  when this works for me,  usually 5x a week, i feel very rested and ready to go in the morning.  i&#039;ve tried several herbal and non herbals,  over the counter and prescription drugs and this is the only one that had worked the best.  melatonin was a joke as i was wired off of it."
