Bozo, When I was in the Brocton V a detoxing, the doctor put me on traxadone. He suggested it would help me sleep. although i thought i was sleeping fine, it was a fitful sleep. Anyway, when i first took it I actually felt a little hung over the next day. Also, my wife was concerned because of some slured speach and balance problems. This went away after a few days. My doctor at the Bedford VA continued the prescription, however on an as needed basis. He is also having me take 1/2 of a pill. I forget the size now but, will tell you later.
