For Depression "Was given Trazodone to help fall asleep. While it did do that a few times, it more or less simply made me lazy. Each day, I had zip motivation to do anything but sit around. I wasn't sleepy, it just seemed to cause me not to want to do anything. Didn't even want to engage in conversation with anyone, although I did not feel moody. While I do take Klonopin in the AM for anxiety, it doesn't help with my sleep. Also, Klonopin didn't cause the extreme groggy, malaise, or drugged feeling. But this medication did 'sedate' somewhat, so it may be helpful in certain situations. I am looking for a more long-term, everyday kind of med."
