Hi Pandabear,
Trazodone is an antidepressant. I take it (and sometimes Ambien) at night to help me sleep. I'm also on Paxil for depression and anxiety.
My doctor said Trazodone is okay to take every night. I'm only supposed to take Ambien on nights that I absolutely am wide awake for two or more hours.
I used to take Amitryptyline (another antidepressant) but despite increased doses it didn't make me sleep. So she switched me to Trazodone four months ago. I don't seem to have any side effects.
