Years ago I took trazodone for sleep as well. I was on 50mg. It knocked me out so bad I slept almost 18 hours the first time I took it. So, I cut the pill in half to take 25mg. It put me to sleep quickly, usually within 10-15 minutes. I don't remember any vivid dreaming but I do know that even at 25mg, when I would get up in the morning I was hung over so badly it took me 3 hours to get my act together before I could drive to work. Even then I was so sluggish and tired.

I tried it for a week or so then had to give it up. I guess my body just didn't like it too much. *sigh*
