Has anyone taken trazodone (Desyrel) for insomnia?

Last night I took my first dose of Trazodone 100mg prescribed for insomnia. I read that dry mouth was a side effect and I have to say it absolutely was for me. Aside from the dry mouth, I had to get up FIVE times during the night to pee! I only took a sip of water each time I got up to try an relieve the extreme cotton-mouth. I felt like I had taken a diurectic. I had no other side effects. Has anyone else experienced this? As it stands now, it's useless as a sleep aid for me.

@4by4 /Me too

@4by4 I took my first dose last night. Dry mouth is my only side effect. I use 50mg and I finally got a full night's sleep. I will havevto see what happens after a month. But so far I like it.

@4by4 Yes dry mouth is awful wakes me up to drink loads of water, weird dreams too. Doesnt stop the pain so only keeps me asleep for a few hours, but what else is there?
