This is kind of a suggestion to all those with sleeping problems, take it for what it's worth. Having been in the restaurant business for my whole adult life, I have sleep issues. I generally don't fall asleep before 3-30 AM, and would probably lie awake for another hour if I didn't start taking trazedone. For years, I mistakenly drank wine and bourbon to sedate me, and I actually slept very well. About 4 years ago I stopped the alcohol. Best decision ever, BUT, I couldn't fall asleep. I tried everything, but nothing worked until the trazedone. For awhile I would take it with CD oil. Boy did I sleep deeply. I realize that what works for one person may not work for another, and I understand that many people out there are resistant to taking more drugs, for good reason. For myself, as someone who loves his sleep, the benefits of trazedone far out weigh the minor risks involved. Now with GD, I don't think I would ever fall asleep without it.
