Hi Ed,
> I think you could be right but trazodone often causes a 'hangover' and makes it difficult to wake up in the morning- I'd be worried about that happening to me.

~~ FWIW, I tried Trazadone last spring, and the 'hangover' was terrible for me. I was only taking 25mg, which I took as early as about 10pm. Even on that low dose, I couldn't function before noon the next day! I would just keep fading in and out of sleep all morning. And, even after the effects wore off, I was sluggish, lethargic and down for the remainder of the day. That being said, my body may well have adjusted to the effects of the traz after having taken it for a longer period of time, but I wasn't willing to go through that horrid hangover effect any longer.You might want to talk to Larry about Melatonin, if you can get it over the counter in the UK. I think ome people do quite well using it to regulate their sleep cycles.
Take care Ed.
All the best,
Tamara
