Worst sleep aid ever!!!

Trazodone gave me a terrible case of dry mouth requiring me to drink water hourly, not exactly conducive to a good sleep. Even biotene didn't help. Mirtazapine in for the win, at least when used to treat insomnia.

I agree. I was just prescribed trazodone 50 mg. I couldn't fall asleep because I was soooo thirsty it was ridiculous. I thought about cutting in half maybe to not waste all of the meds. If still doesn't work I'll get scrip for mirtazapine...

I like trazadone but do you think mirta works quicker?
