Trazodone Side Effects Insomnia or Insomnia Cure? (II)

Lately, you haven’t been able to sleep well… now considering using Trazodone. Think for a moment.

Will it help?

I strongly suggest you don’t do anything until you’re fully aware of ‘Trazodone Side Effects Insomnia’.

While side effects of drugs vary from person to person, those commonly known for Trazodone include, but not limited to, sleepiness, headache, congestion, stomach upset, constipation, nervousness, muscle pain, sweating, and blurred vision.

But when Trazodone is being used to treat ‘standalone’ insomnia, for some the side effects can be more pronounced and long-drawn than for others. Although Trazodone will generally help bring short-term insomnia relief and comfort to those deprived of good sleep, it’s the morning after however that certain side effects may start to kick in. It has been reported that many suffer from a blocked nose, feelings of lethargy and grogginess (often being described as resembling a hangover from a drink the night before) and for others, a degree of unsteadiness.

Is there anything wrong with using Trazodone for insomnia cure?

Yes, there is. This happens when Trazodone is used primarily to treat insomnia in the absence of major depressive disorders. Insomnia in and of itself is a symptom, not a disease. Using Trazodone on insomnia alone is just treating a symptom; it’s not effective as a cure! Ironically, for many (without depressive disorders) who sought insomnia cure and found relief (treating one symptom) from a good night’s sleep using Trazodone, would least expect to experience a few pronounced and perhaps, more unbearable side effects the next morning.

So, the next time if turning to any over-the-counter and prescription drugs is a ‘must have’ to help you sleep better at night, and you’re not suffering from any major depressive disorders, then choose a medication that is designed specifically for sleep-depriving conditions, not Trazodone.

Better still, if you can try some natural cures for insomnia.
