Suggest Generic Medication For Trazodone
I have been trazodone for sleep, not sure when I should take, or can you suggest another that will let me sleep a good 8 hours? I wake at 3 or 4 AM to use the bathroom and can never fall back to sleep. I am retired and days are to long. Please help me with another suggestion? I use to take ambien, but had to stop because of the cost, it was wonderful. I was told there is a generic for this, would you tell me the name? Thanks for your time.. YYYY@YYYY

Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic
The generic form of ambien would be zolpidem, this is the actual drug. It may be cheaper to use this format.
There are sleep hygiene techniques that might help you with your sleep, they are available online but some of them are: (1)try not to nap in the day
(2)no tv in the bedroom or reading in bed
(3)no exercise for 2 hours before bedtime
(4)When you have problems falling asleep, get out of bed if a 10 mins pass. Do something relaxing for a few minutes then return
I hope this helps
