Insomnia
"This is my favorite hypnotic drug. I&#039;ve been suffering from insomnia for at least ten years, with good stretches and bad ones. Through CBT, I&#039;ve learned to worry less about sleep, but I&#039;m still a light sleeper and would wake up many times during the night, which is a source of anxiety and a burden. Taking 25 mg allows me to sleep trough the night with fewer awakenings and less difficulty falling back to sleep. Trazodone is a tool in your arsenal, but it&#039;s not &quot;sleep-in-a-pill&quot;: it won&#039;t knock you out like the benzos or z-drugs, and that&#039;s not a bad thing, because this effect tends to create tolerance and rebound insomnia. Also, allow one week for the effects to stabilize before drawing any conclusion."
