insomnia
"I have suffered from insomnia for 4  years. I tried Ambien: 10 mg wouldn't keep me asleep for more than 3-4 hours.  I'm rather paranoid about new medications, since I fear weird side effects. So with trepidation I tried Trazodone (after having it on my night stand for almost two weeks until I got the courage!).  I'm so thankful that I did.  It put me gently into a nice sleep, I slept the first time for 7 1/2 hours straight and had only a couple tolerable side effects; my nose gets a little stuffy and a few times I've woken with slight dry cough. I don't know if it's a coincidence, but I've lost 14 lbs since taking it! (2 months) An added bonus is that it helps keep my mind from racing so I CAN fall asleep.  Hooray, Trazodone!"
