Anyone have experience with this? I am depressed and have insomnia. I am going to contact my doc tomorrow. I've been on Wellbutrin which works and Prozac the same. Effexor remeron and lexapro didn't.

Trazodone works very well. It will help you sleep and get some rest. It is mild and I experienced no negative side effects. But that is just me. Everybody's body chemistry is different so you may have the same or different results...good luck.

I hated it. Made me get a stuffy nose every single time. I like Seraquel. Well, actually I adore Ambien, but the dr wont let me have it anymore. dang

I was on Trazodone several years ago,

It worked like a charm for about a year, then one night out of the blue it didnt work. It hasnt worked since.

I just "plateaued" one night, I never felt a tolerance building up.
It's like something just turned off. Shame.

Same thing for ssri's, even at max dosage I always plateaued around one year. I tried them all again 2 or 3 years after that,
but just got hyper side effects.

I wanted to use it for depression I have lorazepam for sleep but was wondering together maybe it would be a good combo. ?

Most People I know that have used it had one side effect and that was congestions. It would plug them and made there sinuses plug up . I have been told it works well for sleep. Ambian also works well , but has more side effects and people have been known to do funny things when taking it .

It works for me with sleep but not for depression. No side effects. Maybe a bit groggy at first in the morning.

I can only say that I hope it works well for you and your able to get some sleep. I didn't do so good on it but that is my case with most medications. I would wake up so tired it felt as though I didn't get any sleep. However, it does help you to fall asleep. Let us know how you do on it. Hugs GB

    Woke up feeling very emotional and about to clock in at my place of employment. And can't place it all in writing but not been a good experience with my store manager or his boss. Defamation of my character is a concern. I've been losing appetite and weight. Trying to perform at work to keep myself from hospitalization as a result of toxic masculinity.

    I'm feeling down,, and got alot on my mind right now.  I got grief going on, on top my depression and anxiety and now I got to worry about somewhere to live since I can't afford living here since my mom passed.  So many bad things have happened since my mom passed.  One thing after another it seems.  Yesterday our fence fell from a storm that hit, had to call someone to prop it up.  Thank...
