"my doctor assumed that i was currently depressed because i was not sleeping, but it was actually the other way around. 

i was in the worst depression of my life. i couldn&#039;t sleep, stopped eating, lost weight, and for the most part, even stopped going to work. i don&#039;t know how else to explain it other than i just couldn&#039;t. i couldn&#039;t do anything. 

and then trazadone. about a week after i began taking it, it was like i &quot;woke up&quot;. i got out of bed. i even cleaned my house and did laundry, and smiled. it was and is amazing. i take 25mg at night (with my regular 150mg effexor), and it&#039;s changed everything for me. i feel normal again."
