In the end, using any agent (and I use trazodone for some periods of times) for sleep will result in tolerance. This includes OTC medication and herbal remedies as well. Eventually one rotates through medications so as to not become dependent on one. Its hard, I know.
The body really has to have natural sleep, and the core of it is getting to the core reason why there is a sleep disorder in the first place. This is where sleep studies among other things come in place. I probably need one myself. Consistent sleep time and exercise also helps (issues with that myself too.)
So the short of it, these are reasons why any agent doesnt last more than 4-8 weeks typically at prime level.I know this isnt a solution, but a cogitation
