Has anyone tried trazadone for sleep? How long before bed did you take it? Did you feel hungover in the morning? How does it combine with other antidepressants and pain medications (I'm on duloxetine)? Finally, how well did it work to help you fall and stay asleep?

Trazadone is a very common medication used for sleep. It is often prescribed with Cymbalta. (Im a psychotherapist and I see this in my practice all the time). It works for most people. If you feel hung over, certainly address that with your doctor. There are other alternatives that my be more gentle on you.

I have been on trazidone for while now. You feel rested and not hungover. It takes 15-20 mins for me to feel it. I really like it. If im not in my "fatigue" mode i always wake up after 8 hours no matter what.

Would if I could. Nothing has worked so this was kind of a last play.
