Many medciations are on a as needed basis. I also have XANAC on as needed basis. Over time an ongoing taking of medication is going to lower it's affect on you. when taking it every day/ night year after year.

If you are traveling and know you will need help to sleep that is an example of a "as needed basis."

Trazadone is very quick acting and can be taken and quick action. For me and my wife we both know if we are under stress, anxiety, or worrying that we will need help fallling asleep. Many times in past and even now if don't fall asleep and can feel my mind racing when I try to go to sleep I get up and take a trazadone. Many doctors will tell you if you don't fall asleed within a certain amout of time to do something like reading, etc.

Have your doctors ever suggested a sleep study for you? Did you advise your doctors about taking telenol PM on an ongoing basis?

When I was first prescribed sleep prescription it was for Ambein. My psychiatric medication warned me that Ambein was very quick acting so don't take unless ready to go to sleep and also be aware of the common side affect of sleep walking. Ambien did not work for me at all and was given trazadone where over time it went from every night to as needed. That is for me not you as that goes for any medications mentioned on MCC it is our experience with them not yours.

Have you doctors mentioned or hae you tried OTC melotonin? It is a known natural sleep aid which many says works.
