I suffer from insomnia and depression. This medication lets me ease into a refreshing sleep without the nightmares of other sleep meds. Published: September 27, 2007 ::

Comment from: me, 35-44 Female on Treatment for 10+ years (Patient)

I have been taking this drug for at least 15 years for severe insomnia after someone broke into my home while I slept. It has been a fantastic drug to put me to sleep and keeps me asleep all night. Does not cause hangover effect at all for me in the morning. Published: February 13, 2008 ::

This is been an absolute answer to prayers for me. I have suffered from insomnia for years and tried many drugs, often resulting in weight gain or "hangovers" from the strength of the drug. Desyrel lets me get a full night's sleep and leaves me feeling well rested in the morning. Published: October 25, 2007 ::

I have had trouble sleeping since my menopause days. Have tried other meds but still woke up at night. Some meds caused me to be too sleepy in the morning. But Trazodone allowed me to get a great night sleep and wake up alert and ready for the day. Published: October 26, 2008 ::
