Trazodone is actually my sleep aid of choice. I do take 100 mg, but started with 50. I find it to be a sleep bomb for me.

I don't feel hungover the next day, but, with it on board, I usually sleep 8-10 hours. I would definately advise against taking it when you have to get up in 4 or 5 hours or so.

I do get side effects from it. I get a stuffy (and by stuffy I mean closed) nose, and occasionally the combination of trazadone and prozac gives me night sweats. It also increases my appetite. I manage these by a dose of nasal spray prior to sleep, keeping a fan on at night, and eating as much as I can :).

In some men, priapism can be a profound and serious problem, but I'm female.

Although, I believe there is a metabolite of trazodone that has been associated with psychotic symptoms, I've never had problems with it in that regard.

I hope you get some rest.

Seldom.
