A member asked:
After a few nights of ambien & trazadone, each worked just okay. used nothing last night & barely slept. should i use one again or go w/o d/t rebound?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ambien is an Rx: for sleep. Trazodone is an old TCA prescribed not usually for depression but for its strong sedation side effect--a sleeper. The former causes more rebound than the latter, but the latter has a greater likelihood of causing a hangover in the morning. Have you tried herbs? Research Melatonin, Valerian Root. Also look at Benadryl--all three are non-Rx. Don't take them with your Rx's...
