Hello Ann,
Since drowsiness is a common side effect of Trazodone, it is prescribed for some people who suffer from insomnia or other types of sleep disturbances.
Your best bet is to talk to your physician or a psychiatrist about whether taking Trazodone is a good idea for you in particular.
Regards,
Dr. Jennifer Fee
