OH MY GOD. Are you ever hilarious. Wish you were my shrink. Love your cats.

I take An SNRI and if I don’t take 50 mg of trazodone at bedtime I can’t sleep. I am not an insomniac. My sleep is great. I’m on duloxetine and would love to discontinue however the symptoms are hard to bear so I keep taking it. Doing somatic stuff and meditating has pretty much handled the so-called depression

. AGH.

I really enjoyed this! As a patient, I was prescribed trazadone for insomnia but didn't take it much because i felt terrible the next day (worse then losing a couple hours trying to fall asleep). I also found the ACSM guidelines and showed them to my primary care, and he basically said "look, everyone's been prescribing trazadone for insomnia forever, why would I trust these guidelines that seem to push benzos and have nothing above low confidence in any recommendation".
