Default Sleeping Pills

I will look into this when I get off work tonight. I was prescribed 50 MB Trazodone tablets. Trazodone is described as an "oral antidepressant (trade name Desyrel) that is a nontricyclic drug used as a sedative." Took one when I went to bed around 6:00 a.m. and had a good "days" sleep for a change. I even woke up earlier than normal, feeling no residual grogginess. But this is only after one day.

To be safe, do you think I should try it out on my cats first? No that won't work. They are already crazy. I would not be able to tell if it was the pill, or their normal state of behavior.

Here is a link to some photos of my cats, Boris and Natasha, when they were younger and less crazy:

Take care,
