I've take trazodone before, 400mg for sleep. It knocked me right out and muted my dreams for a while, but it was worth the rest and once I got used to it the dreams came back.

I haven't gained a noticeable amount of weight on Abilify. I did experience akathisia at 20mg (only time I've ever suffered side effects from anything I've taken, it was very annoying) so I went back down to 15mg and it was fine.

Welcome to PC! I hope you enjoy it here. I have; everyone is so nice and helpful.
