Anyone ever hear of this anti-depressant or ever taken it? My doctor just prescribed this for some anxiety related sleeplessness. I'm very against going back on anti-depressants because of side effects that occured before. I'd rather deal with the main issue than deal with all the side effects that come along with it. I just wanted to do as much research on this medication before I start taking it.

I was on trazadone years ago and don't remember the side effects being bad. As with all these medications they effect everyone differently. I do remember that it helped me sleep.
Hope this helps a little.

No. Going off trazadone didn't make me have insomnia again. I don't think this is one of the more addicting drugs. I could be wrong though, but I don't remember this being addictive. Although, if you are taking it regularly you will have to taper off and not stop cold turkey (you probably already know that).
