Hi,
If you go to the meds board you will find a lot of people experienced with trazadone, good and bad. I would recommend it.For me, I take 1/2 trazadone at bedtime. It doesn't help me fall asleep (klonopin if I need it does that), but it does help me sleep through the night and I usually feel pretty good in the morning. A whole tablet was too much for me--gave me a hangover.
I think trazadone is one of the oldest tricyclics (sp) and isn't used very often, in my experience, as a full-fledged anti-depressant.
I did have some vivid dreams for a while (but that could have been the Cymbalta starting up too), but they quickly went away.
So, I don't think your dr had any ulterior motive because trazadone is really used for sleep most often now.
Good luck,
fiji
