Hi there. I do have experience with trazodone. I was placed on it during my alcohol rehab stay over a year ago,to replace lorazapam. Trazodone is not supose to be addictive, as the lorazapam is. It works great!! My only negative experience with it was the first week or so, I had very strange & very VIVID dreams.(though It could have had something to do with detoxing & those meds too.) It knocks you out right away & there is not much fighting it , you can feel it kick in in about15- 20 min. I take a full 50 mg before bed, and it has been over a year now & they still work like a charm. I don't feel anything in the morning as a result of taking them either, I think they work great !! Good luck !
