Trazadone use for insomnia for seniors

I have recently tried CBD gummy if I wake up and can’t fall back to sleep. It helps most of the time unless I’m all wound up!
I take Clonazepam at bedtime for anxiety. I start thinking about things that make me anxious..

I took clonazepam 1mg at bedtime for almost 20 years. As soon as I turned 65, I had to taper off it. This despite a long history of same dose, never increasing and consistently helping me sleep through the night. It was one of the hardest thing I ever did, and although we did it very slowly over 9 months, everything the clonazepam treated came back in full force. Totally sleepless nights, anxiety, and my focal dystonia. Tried Remeron for 5 months and it did basically nothing for me. Eventually started using CBD/THC gummies and 5/7 nights are very good. For some reason, I have a lot of difficulty sleeping 2 nights a week even with the gummie. I hope to one day learn to sleep without any aid. Trazadone was prescribed many years ago for anxiety and it made me feel nauseous dizzy.

Right now I am trying Trazodone 25 mg. for chronic insomnia. Helping just a bit.
Thinking of going to the 50 mg. dose which is recommended for sleep...
There are so many CBD gummies on the market I honestly don't know which one is the best.
What are you using? That's a good plan to use a gummy for wake ups during the night of which I have at least 2 nightly.
I more than hear you about "ruminating" over anxious thoughts. I do that also and certainly not helpful. I like the post about meditation & exercise...sometimes not so easy to do though but I know it's a positive!
Best of luck to you in your sleep "quest".
