"I have had insomnia related to my fibromyalgia for some time. When my doctor suggested I try trazodone, I was skeptical. Now I never want to be without it. It has done wonders for my sleep and the quality of my sleep. No grogginess or trouble waking up. I would recommend it for those who have trouble both getting to sleep and staying asleep."

"This medication does not do anything for my fibromyalgia pain, it does lessen anxiety and treats insomnia. I was given six different sleep meds, none of them worked. My sleep study showed 15 minutes as the longest period of sleep that night. I went 6 days with only 2 hours on night 3. I thought I was going crazy. I can't explain how it feels to go that long without sleep. This medication was the one that finally knocked me out and kept me out. The problem is I sleep too long when I take it. I have fibromyalgia and multiple disc issues and bursitis in my hips. If I do not turn over frequently, my back and hip pain increases radically. I slept like I was in a coma for 8 hours. I only take it when sleep is more important than pain relief."

"I have taken this medicine for 15 years. My pain is up and down depending on life's circumstances. It helps me fall asleep, but the quality of my sleep is still poor. I have tried several times to withdraw from it or to change medications. I have never been able to because I end up not sleeping at all."

"This medicine helped me sleep. I felt tired most of the morning hours. I've tried varying doses. Now I'm trying to get off of it. I'm taking 5 HTP, which seems to help me. But it didn't do anything for my fibromyalgia."

"Couldn't live without it. Keeps me somewhat mobile, otherwise, I'd be unable to get around and unable to sleep at night."

"Can't recommend more highly. Unless my anxiety is particularly high, this medication helps assure a wonderful night's sleep. I'm on 200 mg nightly, along with Ultracet."
