I have been taking Trazadone for about 3 weeks now and I am waiting for my doctor to prescribe me an alternative due to the side-effects. At first it didn't seem to help me to get to sleep but did help me sleep better once I was asleep. Now, I think it is starting to help me get to sleep but the constipation, nausea, headaches, faintness/dizzyness and lose of coordination are definitely causing me problems. The doc is looking at prescribing me an anti-histamine instead.
It must be quite frustrating for medical staff dealing with people like me who seem prone to having problems the side-effects of medication
