Hi all - I'm wondering if anyone else has used trazodone to help with sleep issues? I've just started on it (I haven't had a solid night's sleep in months, and getting up in the morning is absolutely killing me...)
I get to sleep fine but wake up halfway through the night and can't get back to sleep for hours. Apparently that's a "sleep architecture" problem, which trazadone is now known to be helpful with (it was originally used as an antianxiety medication in higher doses)
I'm specifically wondering about long-term usage. I've heard it's "non addictive" because it's not a sedative, but I worry that once I stop taking it I'll be right back to square one, and not sleeping again!
Anyone using it long term, or is it possible to use it as a "bridge" to help reprogram your brain to stay asleep at 2am...?
