Adam, many medications are used for different purposes depending on dosage. Tradozone is an AD, but at high doses, and is not used widely these days for this purpose. At low doses, it is used for sleep, and is still used widely despite being a very old medication. It helped me sleep for a couple of years and then stopped working altogether. I would try it if I were in your shoes. Trying it would not hurt. It is not a benzo, so you would not have the dependency problems - it will either work or it will not work.
