I've been struggling with insomnia for a while now, and my doctor recently prescribed me Trazodone 50mg to help with sleep. I've heard mixed things about it, and I'm curious about how it compares with Ambien. Has anyone else tried both? I'm particularly interested in the side effects and how well it helps with sleep. I've also read that it can cause dizziness and drowsiness, so I'm a bit concerned about that. Is it something that goes away after a while? How often do people experience serious side effects like serotonin syndrome? I'm not sure what to expect, so any insights would be helpful!
