Trazodone should not be compared with those other drugs. It is hardly anticholinergic, and it lacks many of the side effects of Seroquel or Ambien. It can actually improve sleep architecture; it acts as a slow-wave sleep enhancer. In addition, it may increase the "arousal threshold" in certain patients with sleep apnea. This translates into less disruptions to sleep overall. [1][2] Comparing this to something like Ambien- which disrupts sleep cycles and correlates with increased mortality overall- just isn't factual. [3] Anecdotally, a low dose of trazodone (25 mg) prevents sleep maintenance insomnia for me. You should definitely have a sleep study done regardless. Wishing you some restful sleep!
