This medication caused me to feel sleepy/woozy within 30 minutes of taking it. Definitely helped me to fall asleep when stress/insomnia was preventing such. However, I had such severe breast pain while taking it, so I discontinued it. In one day my pain went away. Obviously this drug was not healthy for me (and probably not for others).

I have been on Trazodone for about 15 years, 200 mg at bedtime. It helps me get a good night sleep and helps great for depression. I used to be very depressed! After 8 hrs sleep I wake up feeling refreshed. I will stay on this for the rest of my life.

I have used this drug for years for help with insomnia. It also helps with my depression/anxiety. I used to take Ambien but became addicted and would take more than I should have. I decided to stop taking it. I was taking the trazadone with the Ambien but the trazadone is enough and truly helps. I take 1 150mg tab every night and 1/2 an hour later I'm ready for bed.

a new physician had taken away my Ambien and prescribed this medication for sleep. I've now made three separate attempts to use this medication. I was restless States in federal court Thursday and it was anything but a sleeping pill. So I stopped. I tried a second time and realize my hundred 50 mg pill with scored twice and then I started splitting the dose Nicole. Again no relief for insomnia or difficulty falling asleep. During this second attempt at using this drug if I did fall asleep it would knock me out for about 2 days. It is a non-functioning life with no sleep or medication that leaves you with brain fog and lack of ambition or ability to focus on daily tasks. This is now my third attempt at taking this medication because I desperately need a sleeping pill. Once they take away what works for you, you will never get your Ambien back! I realize now that from the very first ingestion I was developing muscular skeletal problems. It is even more pronounced now as I am cautious of this drug. My fingers are frozen and my entire hand is in pain every morning when I wake up now. For each dose that I take the problems in my hand and fingers gets incrementally worse with each consecutive days dose. It scared me enough I am now quitting this Drug for the third and final time!! I'm wondering how many other people are experienced pain in their extremities after each evening's dose?
