"i am 65, male 150 lbs. i&#039;ve been taking trazadone for probably 15 years. i used to wake up in the middle of the night and couldn&#039;t get back to sleep . my mind would race. this helps me fall asleep a little and lets me sleep all night. if i wake up to pee i get right back to sleep. no grogginess in the morning all though it does affect my wife that way when she takes it. no side effects. i can still fall asleep without it and no effect if i don&#039;t take it for awhile"
