"just started taking trazodone because of severe insomnia. i&#039;ve recently been diagnosed with dysautonomia, and had to have a pacemaker. it&#039;s been a rough four months, but after all my medical issues, i couldn&#039;t sleep at night, sometimes getting one to two hours of sleep, and feeling exhausted. lorazepam and ambien work for me, but hate the fact that they were addictive, and didn&#039;t want to take either one consistently. so my doctor prescribed trazodone 50 mg for me to try. i&#039;m starting out at 25 mg per night, and while it doesn&#039;t do much for about two hours, once i do fall asleep, it&#039;s very restful, and i awake with no side effects. hopefully this is the drug for me, and i can now start getting some much needed rest!"
