Sheila; My wife (Ruth 66/6) has been taking trazodone for sleep problems and it is working well, she also take sinemet 50/200 CR 3/da, a 10 mg aricept, Prempro and 0.5 mg mirapex 2/da. Prior to her taking trazodone she would wake up frequently during the night. I hope it starts to work for your mother. Don Erickson Monticello, Mn.
