For Insomnia "I've been taking this for 3 weeks, and it doesn't help at all for my insomnia or my anxiety. I take 150 mg, but it still doesn't work. When I first started taking it, it made me really paranoid, but still didn't help me sleep."

For Anxiety "They took me off Valium after taking it for anxieties from a severe traumatic brain injury while in the military. Now with their new rules, they put me on trazodone for anxiety, and wow, it's the worst thing a person can take. Read about all the dangers and the side effects from SSRIs, they are killing American vets especially. Please, if you read this, don't ever take an SSRI. I have done a lot of reading and found that antidepressants are horrible for a person. Even the scientists have said they made a mistake, and they are not able to test the serotonin in a person's brain. So, basically, you are a guinea pig. They don't work and your addiction means no more sex!!! How can the drug companies make such a pill to help people when they're the worst drug a person can take."

For Insomnia "I tapered down from 100 mg to 25 mg until stopping. Withdrawal is awful and consists of extreme anxiety, horrendous nausea with vomiting, and stomach pain. Absolutely not worth it in my opinion."

For Insomnia "Trazodone keeps me up all night. Ever since I have been on it, I sleep maybe 6 hours a week, and I'm more irritated and angry than I ever was. Also, my anxiety and depression are worse."

For Sedation "Pure pharmaceutical trash. I gave the last 29 (of 30) pills to my doc and told her to keep it. Worst night of my life... jittery, heart racing, and trembling."
