Hi Katia
I was on trazadone. I think I slept okay and Im not sure why but once I woke, say 5 am (when my hubbys' alarm goes off) I was AWAKE. I liked that, but I didnt like the hangover. (and yes I took it as early as possible) For maybe an hour to two, I had real difficulty with physical coordination. And forget going to the bathroom in the middle of the night. Quite scary. But it did put me to sleep and I think the low level of serrotonin may have been of bennifit as conventinal ADs have been overwhelming for me.
