Damn, got my hopes up. Don't get me wrong I'm super glad trazodone works for you, but man it seems like every insomnia treatment "success story" I've heard goes the same way: "tried x, tried y, tried traz which worked great". I know it shouldn't, but it makes me really disheartened since trazodone failed miserably for me. Where other meds did nothing at all, traz put me in a fugue zombie like state where I was uncomfortably tired, but if anything even more incapable of actually sleeping. The sleep specialist I was seeing gave up on me so I'm just kinda raw dogging life now.

    Which ones have you tried? I have quite a few friends that are docs or in residency and really just want to pass on something that can make peoples lives better.

    Honestly I don't fully remember, this was all back in 2019 and my memory is pretty shit. Gabapentin sounds very familiar so I'm guessing that was one of them, other than that and the traz, I tried two others but I can't recall the name of them. I also was on seroquel as a kid; it wasn't primarily for sleep but felt it worth mentioning since it basically felt like super trazodone, in a bad way.
