Good Luck with the Trazodone...doesn't work for most people unless they are taking something else with it.....tell your doctor that you want him or her to give you the insomnia medications that really work!! Flurazepam or Lorazepam.

Have you tried both? If so, which one do you prefer? I have been on Ambien for so many years that I am afraid to go off it but I really don’t think it is working anymore. Thanks!

Please be wary of making recommendations to others! Everyone is different! I know people on trazadone who swear by it.
Lorazepam is a benzodiazepine and is addictive. Wreaks havoc with central nervous system. There are safer drugs out there. Need to find a reputable doctor who’s experienced in sleep medicine.
Best wishes to all! I’m thrilled that I’ve found something that works gof me that all of my doctors are comfortable with.
