Trazodone
insomnia
"I have tried a number of herbs, supplements, OTC and prescription medications for insomnia, including hops, passionflower, valerian, kava kava, melatonin, GABA, 5-HTP, L-tryptophan, Benadryl, Unisom, Klonopin, Ativan, and Ambien, and have found that trazodone is the best for me.  The herbs and supplements weren't strong enough, melatonin gave me horrible nightmares, OTC sleep aids made me too drowsy the next day, and the benzos and Ambien stopped working.  I take 50 mg of trazodone before bed and fall asleep in about half an hour.  It's true I am a bit drowsy the next morning but it soon goes away and the drowsiness is less intense than the drowsiness from the other kinds of medicines I have tried.  Trazodone is also very inexpensive."
