Good morning @carolinlv
I thought I would tell you that I consulted with a Naturopathic physician online last year and he told me that as far as sleep medicines go, he believes Trazodone is one of the most benign which also gives the most natural sleep and my past experience with it would reflect that. When I started taking it many years ago because I worked different shifts, I started out at 25 mg which was half a tablet of the lowest dose 50 mg tablet. Most people start out at 50 mg but I have a petite little daughter in law with insomnia and anxiety that started at 200 mg with no side effects! I have just always been sensitive to meds. It worked beautifully and unlike Ambien that I tried, felt like a normal sleep. It is also a very inexpensive medication. I am glad that you have found this online community for support and ideas. My prayers are with you girl. You will get through this and emerge victorious! Check out David Lee “Wu Wei Wisdom” on You Tube. I find him to be wise and compassionate.

Thank you again for all the help and support! You make me feel more determined than ever to find the best and most effective plan for myself. I too am sensitive to medications. Things that others take with minimal to no side effects can put me in the craziest spin! At least, when something’s not going to work for me, I can tell within a few days because of that sensitivity. I don’t have to take something for months before it makes me weird out. I really appreciate you taking the time to help me so much. As before, I’ll know I’ll be back! Take care.
