Trazodone - Best sleep medication for sleep anxiety?

I'd been taking Ambien 10 mg for ten years. I have been reading stories about seniors taking this drug. I started asking friends and family questions, voicing my concerns about Ambien. We spent Easter with cousins, two of whom are taking Trazodone for sleep. I researched for days, read reviews etc. then I sent my doctor a message through my patient portal. He had no problem with me stopping the Ambien and taking Trazodone. He wrote me a prescription for 100 mg. So far so good. I'm getting the best sleep I've had in years. I pray it continues to work. I like taking half and then taking the other half 30 - 45 minutes later. I love that there is very little chance of abuse or addiction.

Benadryl! It's great for night time anxiety and allergies too! That and yogi bedtime tea.

Sounds to me you would benefit more from some of the research on insomnia. You may find the solution has nothing to do with medications, and everything to do with habits, thought habits, nutrition and mid-day exercise, even walking.

A lot online, all of it without cost or risk of dependence or liver problems.

A million of us. You get so afraid you won't sleep. Then you look at the clock. Then you get more anxious. You're not alone.
