I have been prescribed trazodone as an aid to the insomnia. I have been experiencing.
When I looked up the drug via your website, I see that it is an anti depressant
Concerned that this may not be correct remedy as I dont have issues with depression

Hi, rugby!
Yes, it is an antidepressant but it's commonly prescribed for insomnia in low doses because of a certain side effect: drowsiness.
"Nervous system
Very common (10% or more of users): Drowsiness (up to 41% of users)"
I have found that it does help me with sleep without knocking me out and no morning hangovers.
Regards and hoping that you're getting your Zzzz's very quickly.
