I had been on Trazadone for at least 20 years. I went to MAYO clinic and was able to eliminate quite a few medications. The trazadone for sleep was the most difficult. The first night I found myself in sleep paralysis. Once I passed out the first night every day after that I could sleep without medication. The first couple of days I used meditation music. Now I can doze off for a short nap and go right to sleep at night. You just have to get through the first night.
