Trazodone seems like a might big hammer for this problem. Do you plan to take it forever? Iā€™d assume that removing it will cause withdrawal and a reversion to your previous insomnia. Or did your doctor suggest a plan of taking it for X months and then taper off? While the idea of a pill to fix this problem sounds really appealing to me, taking an SARI is not without risk.



Some quick googling offers an interesting count point to my fear:
