I also had no idea so many people have tried Trazodone.
I have experienced taking it for about 2 years now. I take 300mg at nighttime, right before I lay down and try to sleep. In the beginning it did make me feel a little "out-of-whack". For example, if I woke up in the middle of the night and had to go to the restroom, I would feel like I was about to pass out standing up; dizzy-like. However this did go away after the first few weeks.
Besides the awful taste of the pill, I really never noticed any "hang-over" like effects or tiredness throughout the day (besides the usual laziness).
My biggest surprise is that I didn't build a tolerance toward Trazodone, like I did with Lunesta and Ambien, after only taking those a few weeks.
Anyways Trazodone has my vote, hope this was of some help.
