Marti, Your pain specialist made an excellent choice of medications to help you with your sleep problems. Desyrel (trazadone HCL) is classified as a antidepressant, and has a potent sedative effect. It is used in psychiatry frequently for the exact same purpose as you take it for, probably more frequently than for its antidepressant properties. It is particularly usefull where sleeplesness and depression are minor symptoms of a major mental disorder such as is seen in schizophrenia. I have also seen it used for sleep problems secondary to mental illness and substance abuse as it has a low potential for abuse. Glad to hear you're getting some relief for your sleeping difficulties.
