I agree with zinya, countess. I couple of years ago, when my pdoc first put me on Paxil, he also gave me Trazedone to take as needed, and boy did I need it. It worked good for me, knocked me out within 20 minutes, and I didn't feel groggy the next day. I have also taken Ambien for a sleep aid, which again knocked me out within 20 minutes, but Ambien has a short life of about 2 hours. It is the plan that, after that, your body will keep you asleep. Sometimes it did and sometimes I would wake up in a few hours, but it did help and I still take it every now and then. Like zinya suggested, I have also used Benadryl Allergy Sinus to help me sleep, but I had problems the next day waking up and dragging the whole day.
The bottom line is, use what works for you, but if you pdoc will give you trazadone, and your insurance will cover it, it's good stuff. If you can't get enough rest, you can't get better no matter what kind of meds you take.
