Prescription sleep aids

[Cutt29]

Anybody use Ambien or Trazodone? goin to tzalk to doc on wed about gettin a script, have been using benadryl and valerian for awhile and it usually does the trick, but recently its been taking me awhile to fall asleep (on cyp/eq) might be a little bit of eq anxiousness i dont know.
Suggestions and experiences please

I have taken Ambein a couple of times, and a lot of Trazodone over the past 10 years.

Don’t really know much about Ambein, was kind of afraid of it.


Trazodone, I believe is an antidepressant, can’t remember, at first 50mg will knock you out in about 30-45 minutes, like everything you will over a long period of daily usage,

develop a tolerance to Trazodone.

Go off for a while and it works all over again. So if you use it as a sleeping aid,

Think in terms of cycles, use it for 8 weeks go off then use it again


Remember the first time, or the first month you take Trazodone, just take it where you intend to be for the next 8 hours, because you will crash hard.

Trazodone knocks me out and makes me feel like shit for half the next day. Ambien rocks as does Lunesta

Not a pharmacist, but I don’t know of anyway you can prevent tolerance or limit your tolerance.

I have used ambien and lunesta. I like both of them but ambien makes me kind of high before I go t o sleep. Lunesta just makes me sleepy. I guess you have try it before you know how it works for you.
