You may notice that you sleep better and get on with people more easily because you’re less anxious. You’ll hopefully be more relaxed about things that used to worry you.
Is trazodone a sleeping pill?
Although trazodone was designed to treat depression and anxiety disorders, the medication is now widely prescribed as a nighttime sleep aid for patients who suffer from acute insomnia.
While not recommended the first line of treatment against insomnia, trazodone can be a highly effective sleep aid. If you haven’t had much luck with behavioral therapy or other types of medication from Ambien to Valium, you could find some benefit from trying trazodone.
