I haven’t had refreshing sleep in 14 years ...since the beginning. I have been on many things in order to feel somwhat refreshed but nothing I take achieves that.
My sleep again has recently taken a turn for the worse and I am waking almost every hour which means no nonRem sleep at all. I have been back on Lunesta for almost 10months due to being desperate.
I have tried just about every prescription sleep med there is...nothing has ever given me even a hint of feeling refreshed even though I sleep .
So my doctor gave me Trazodone 50mg to try. After reading horror stories I took it anyway and yes became a horror story too....I took it at 8pm....I felt nothing until I got up an hour later to get some water and was very very drowsy....laid there till 9:30 and had to take half Ativan because I was becoming anxious I wasn’t falling asleep. Finally at 10:00 I resorted to Lunesta 2mg and still no sleep.
Finally around 11 I fell asleep but started the awaking at 12:20 and they continued all night.
My question is for anyone who takes Trazodone....did it take a while to work....do you have to add another medication in order to sleep..? I actually also took 1 mg melatonin sublingual.
I am once again thinking of trying strictly herbal stuff again so if anyone has suggestions on those it would be very helpful.
I am getting to the place where if I don’t at least sleep a few hours contiously I will lose my mind...
