I am on a combination of Ambien and Trazadone and that has worked for about 4 years. I take from 50 to 200 mg of trazadone. It is very hard to wake up in the morn. A natural remedy that also works for me - is "REALLY RAW HONEY" and warm milk - sounds nasty doesn't it but when I'm desperate for sleep -I'll try anything. The name of the honey is a trademark - I bought the honey on-line - it is honey that isn't processed at all - it's actually solid in form. The regular honey didn't work. It takes about a teaspoon of honey and whole milk - the 1/2% and 2% milk didn't work - just drawing from my own experience. Also I've found taking calcium just before bedtime gives me a sounder sleep. I would check with my Dr. first to make sure that taking honey or calcium is OK for you. Also I went thru my psych. to get the right dosages of the trazadone and ambien.
