i had the same problems with the ssri (paroxetin and sertralin) and my pdoc also put me on trazodon (trittico here in austria). she meant that this ad could also be more helpful because
its antihistaminic properties could help to relieve my massive sleep-problems. what then happened was very different from what i expected-i slept well during the night, but also during the day, i was not able to keep an eye open. this stuff was extremely sedating to me!
but-maybe you will react in another way-let's hope so. also-there are two trazodone formulas in austria: "normal" and "retard"(extended-release). i was on the extended-release tablets, i had to take it once daily (150mg) before going to bed.
maybe the extreme tiredness during the day was due to this formulation. after 1 1/2 weeks i withdrew this drug. after all that, a general practitioneer told me that he often prescribes trazodon as a hypnotic, because its not making addicted.
i know all this doesn't sound very optimistic, but these are my experiences with this drug. i hope you will be doing better with it!
(sorry for my bad english)
