You may do well on trazodone. It is an antidepressant that is claimed to have a quicker onset of antidepressant benefits than other ADs out there (as little as 2 weeks, the manufacturer claims).

It is also widely used for people with chronic insomnia. It has quite a strong sedative side-effect (kicks in on first dose), so you should really appreciate this.

It is safe and non-addicting for people in recovery.

Trazodone, like all ADs, is a heavy-duty drug with many possible side-effects, so there is no guarantee it will agree with you as a staple of treatment for depression.

I'll be interested to know whether and how well you tolerate it, so keep us informed.
