I took trazodone for quite a while when I first started MAOIs about ten years ago. It will sure make you sleepy but it was really too much of a drugged out feeling for me. Now I use diphenhydramine hydrochloride(Benadryl). It works for me but not everybody. I get very drowsy with it but it is a milder effect than trazodone.
