Hi all,
I have suffered from Insomnia for most of my adult life. I am a recovering alcoholic. Sober for the last nine months. Thats when the insomnia kicked into full throttle. I am currently taking Trazadone 150mg and Klonopin 1mg. Though it aint helping much anymore. On a good night I can get 4.5 hours of sleep. I have been on Ambien, Lunesta( walking in the parking lot and waking up is not a good thing) which i will never take again. I have just about run the gambit hen it comes to sleep aids. Now I am starting the wonderful change of life that all women must go thru. Ho Hummm...Just glad that I came across this support group. Has anyone taken trazadone? Any experiences with anything that has been used or can help in my quest for 8 hrs of sleep would be greatly appreciated......
