I agree w you cindisue . There is no really non addictive sleep med ..it’s why I don’t want to use the trazodone that may have helped last nite. Supposedly it’s non habit forming yet I google it and read that it too needs weaning off — c’mon ! But as you say - if you find something that helps and don’t abuse it Go for it ..
I do trust my doc tho. He’s very conservative and careful- so I’ll see .. maybe the traz will go in the trash one day too - thanks for yr reply

Trazodone does need to be weaned off, but most people have no trouble tapering. When I stopped taking it I decreased my dose by 25mg every two weeks and did just fine. My sleeping problems returned and now I'm back to taking 75mg at night with 2.5mg melatonin. I usually fall asleep quickly but wake up after about 4-5 hrs and struggle to get back to sleep. I believe my issues stem from my fibromyalgia.

You should reconsider taking a sleep med....because sleep is sooo important for our overall health! Seriously....who cares if you have to take a sleep med every night....as long as it's helping you get the sleep you so desperately need!!
