Has anyone taken trazodone (Desyrel) for insomnia?

I just started on Trazodone. 50 mg. After 6 days of no sleep I finally got a good night's rest and I love it. No after effects, only dry mouth. I'm thankful and will keep you posted on my sleep journey.

@andygw The local sleep specialist prescribed 50 mg trazodone for me and it took me 2 1/2 hours to get to sleep and it was not a restful sleep. I called his office twice and they didn’t return my call so I went back to lorazepam. I pretty much tapered off of that, But do Still take it 2 to 3 times a week as needed. Other night melatonin works, but it does wear off in the middle of the night
