Hi Todd,
I'm pretty sensitive to the trazodone, too. When my insomnia gets bad, I use 1 mg lorazapam and 25 mg trazodone, and I sleep very well for about 8 hours, without any hangover.
The trazodone-morning effect went away after only a couple days if I remember correctly.
Personally, I have found that a low dose of trazodone and possibly a low benzo dose makes a very good combo. You might want to try a quarter-tab trazodone with a short-acting benzo.
If you just react badly to trazodone, I think the benedryl is a good idea (maybe with a benzo). I don't recommend chlorpheneramine maleate, though, since its metabolism is greatly slowed by MAOI's and it really caused a "morning effect" for me.
