@cindisue I certainly agree with that. Where I live doctors are so reluctant to prescribe a controlled substance of any kind including medication that one needs for sleep.

Pharmacists seem to be in agreement with them. Sometimes they’re so rude about it it seems like they are trying to make you feel like you’re asking for cocaine. The needs of the patient are secondary to the rule book.

For @kayraymat
I took trazadone for about 13 or 14 years. I had no serious no serious side effects. I was made aware by the doctor of the possibility of one that would only affect a man. An erection that would not go away. Thankfully I did not experience that.
