I've also taken trazodone off and on for years for sleep and it's always performed fairly well. I now take trazodone 50mg plus 100mg Lyrica at bedtime and sleep is even better (according to my most recent sleep study). I am very sensitive to meds and I don't get any hangover from traz. It's pretty weight neutral for me, and that is a good thing.
I think it works for some, not for others, depending on what is causing disrupted sleep.

> My pdoc just gave me a script for 10x50mg trazodone. She says it's used for sleep and is an antidepressent. I'm going to take it for my trip in New York. I know for sure I will have problems sleeping.
