Trazodone only helps people that really don't need much help to sleep. For those of us that really need a lot of help to sleep, it does nothing. Even 200mg of trazodone only gets me to yawn at best, and I stay up all nite. I have no idea why doctors keep prescribing trazodone for sleep?! For most of us that really do need the help it's because our brain is racing and we can't shut it down. Benadryl is another one that does nothing for me. Even 2mgs of Xanax only gives me 3 hours of sleep and I never feel rested. Finally got seroquel and I sleep like a baby.

Your daughter is not a spoiled brat. I really think she is under a lot of distress! Hopefully your next visit will shed some more lite on this and she gets the help she needs! Good luck! Let us know how you make out.
