For Insomnia: I was a bit conflicted as to how to rate this medication, because while it did put me to sleep, it had pretty awful side effects. I was prescribed a fairly high dose to help with my insomnia, and after taking it I would fall asleep in around 20-30 minutes. However, it left me feeling groggy in the morning, and if I didn't get into bed fast enough after taking it I would collapse and have trouble getting back to my room - one night, I seemingly blacked out for a few seconds while going up the stairs and fell. Overall, I would say this drug is effective, but I would advise that you be careful while taking it and try to start off on a low dose if possible. For Insomnia: I took 100 milligram trazodone for the first time last night. It did help me sleep but I woke up with a terrible headache and around lunchtime I felt foggy and almost hungover. |

For Insomnia: I take Nytol on nights I really can't get to sleep. My experience is that they don't work very fast, but when they do I sleep pretty soundly. Unfortunately, the result in the morning is that I feel like I have a hangover, and I often sleep through my alarms.
