Side effects:: Hangover effect, Blurry vision, Dry mouth (xerostomia)

Date: Dec 26, 2010
Advice & Tips: I take Trazodone if I have had insomnia for a couple nights. So on the third night I sleep. I don't take it everynight or my tolerance requires me to up the dose. I can stay on 75mg if only using sometimes. This med has an antidepressant component. I also enjoy vivid dreams so that side effect is nice for me. For others it may be a negative.
Cost: < $25 monthly

Date: Oct 25, 2010
