i took this for a while . . . it masked my sleep disorder (sleep apnea) which finally was diagnosed later . . .

trazadone helped me fall asleep when i was having a lot of anxiety about going to sleep (scared to be intimate with husband)

the drug knocked me out. i believe any sleep aide interferes with sleep cycle, prevents normal dream cycle which increases anxiety which then increases further need for drugs.

for me, it enhanced other psych meds that caused daytime drowsiness. be careful driving.
