I have insomnia and can't sleep without a sleeping pill. I'm also an addict so I'm not allowed any strong narcotics. Trazodone has worked very well for me. I've been taking it for over a year now. I started at 100mg and am now up to the max of 300mg/night. I will have to find another pill once this starts to become ineffective. But it puts me to sleep nicely and I don't feel an ...

I started at 100mg and am now up to the max of 300mg/night. I will have to find another pill once this starts to become ineffective. But it puts me to sleep nicely and I don't feel anything linger the next morning. The only downside is if something wakes me up during the night, I come right out of it and no more sleeping. But that rarely happens. I definitely recommend.

I have been taking for several years now. I fall asleep quickly with no "hungover" feeling the next morning. Doctor prescribes 150 mg a night, but I only take 75 mg as needed (usually 4-5 nights a week). No terrible side effects. Works better if taken with a small snack.

Trazodone did not help me at all; neither did the more expensive Belsomra. I wouldn't trust any positive review by anyone who hasn't used it for at least several months. For me, 15 to 30 mg of Mirtazapine worked great for years. I had to be off it for a while. I am now back on it and sleep quite well. I don't do as well as my wife who probably sleeps 10 hours most days and can fal ... Show Full Comment

I don't do as well as my wife who probably sleeps 10 hours most days and can fall asleep within minutes any time of the day if she lies down. With Mirtazapine I always get at least 7 to 8 hours with one middle of the night trip to the bathroom.

Did nothing for me except give me an immediate stuffy nose and a really dry mouth that no water would help. Doesn't exactly promote sleep. I still took an Ambien after two hours like I usually do and got 5 hours of sleep and then I took a Lunesta like I usually do at 4am and got another 2.5 and thatâ??s how I sleep. Starting out the night with this med just gave cold symptoms and made sle ... Show Full Comment

Starting out the night with this med just gave cold symptoms and made sleeping harder and it didnâ??t give me any extra sleepiness whatsoever.
