Several years ago was really struggling with PTSD anxiety/panic disorder. My ability to sleep was non existent.

My phychiatric specialist prescribed ambien but it did not work. She then put me on Trazodone. It did work. For me it kept my mind from racing to one subject to another. KInd of put a brake on it and went to sleep.

I have been on trazondone for a couple of years now as with other medications and some life style changes (exercising) have improved my condition along with the serious issue I was under at the time.

No medication is going to work the same for every person. It is why don't give up but keep trying to find one that works. But from my experience never stop a medication without going through your doctors. Some require you to slowly come off a medication or you can have side affects.

@jc76 replying to @jc76. I am reading my post and as usual I make spelling errors or miss typed something.

Where you read on my post "I have been on trazondone for a couple of years now." It should have read OFF not on. Hope that mistake did not cause confusion with context of my post.

@jc76 you need to proof read your post. @jc76 okay @jc76 will try to do better. 🤢
