I used trazodone for years. It was weight neutral in me (yay!) and I felt a slight antidepressant effect and slept through the night. However, I still had sleep apnea and no stage 4 sleep and very little stage 3 sleep on it, so the quality of sleep was not improved by trazodone. And that was with Neurontin or Lyrica on board at the same time.
If sleep is a big issue, then I would advise a sleep study to determine the exact problem so an appropriate med can be prescribed. I'm trying low dose doxepin now to increase stage 4 sleep.
Good luck.
