i've had a sleep disorder for a long time, associated with my fibromyalgia.
it was documented on a sleep study.

i'm on trazodone and have been for a long time. it's an AD but does make you sleepy. it works great and i havn't had any SE's. it's been around a long time and should be a safe drug. can't hurt to try it. how much did your dr tell you to take? probably 50-100mg?

i've also taken something like tylenol pm. it's main ingredient is benadryl 25mg/tab. however, after a while it didn't work for me anymore.

but since your dr Rx'd the trazodone i'd try that and ask about something else if it doesn't work.

sleep deprivation is awful. i know.
