depression
"I am a 50 year old struggling through the initial stages of menopause.  The hot flashes and insomnia have been miserable and HRT is not an option.  My GP recommended Trazodone and I am so grateful!  The hot flashes seem to be cyclical with me so I can go months with no issues and then they come back, so I only use Trazodone at the height of sleep disruption.  I usually can take 25mg and it works fine, other times I take 50mg.  Takes about an hour for it to kick in and I sleep through the hot flashes, which are every 30 minutes.  Love this medication and it is so inexpensive!"
