I've been on Trazodone for at least 4 years. I had the same hungover feeling taking it when I first started as well as vertigo. I found that I needed to start very low (1/2 tab) and work my way up as I am very sensitive to doses. To this day, I still need to sometimes raise or cut back the dose (now 75mg) depending on other factors: increased stress, other meds added to my regimen, how much exercise I had that day. But all in all, I've found that trazodone is the best sleep med I've tried and no tolerance developed, no weight gain. Of course it doesn't touch my Fibromyalgia muscle tightness and spasm, but at least I don't wake up and no morning hangover which I get with just about everything else.
When I was in a very terrible flare, adding Neurontin 600mg at bedtime to trazodone put me into a very deep sleep. But tolerance to the Neurontin builds rather quickly.
