I have been having trouble sleeping for a few months. I am sleepy, but my brain just won't shut off. I was getting, on average about 3.5 hours of sleep. That was not cutting it. So I went to the doctor and he prescribed me Trazodone, 100 mg.
For me, it works. However, when I wake up in the AM, I feel like I've been run over by a truck. My eyes feel puffy and swollen, I am stuffy, wake up with headache, and feel hung-over.
Although I am happy I can sleep, I am thinking sleeping little outweighs the side effects at this point. I don't like to wake up feeling this way - I have cut back and been taking only 1/2 and only take on weekends when I don't have to watch kids.
Has anyone ever taken Trazodone, or specifically for sleep? If so, what was your experience?
*side note: I googled the medicine and know about it, but what I can read on websites is not much in comparison to personal experiences*
