I have tried trazodone a few times, as it tends to be a first-choice drug for insomnia. However, when it did work, it would stop working after a couple of days (I had to keep increaing the dose).
Recently I've been using it as an alternative to a non-drowsy antihistamine (my doctor finally called in a sciprt for Claritin), which should tell you how well it works as a sedative-hypnotic!
However, most people's experiences are the opposite: trazodone helps them sleep and continues working over long periods of time.
Terry: clonidine can have some other effects on mood and anxiety if you take a half dose during the day - it's used a lot for kids with ADD, as it's supposed to help them with frustration tolerance.
