Reply to comment by Alaishana in In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover study 60% of insomnia patients "no longer classified as clinical insomniacs" after just 2-weeks of using medical cannabis oil by BoundariesAreFun

What about off-label sleeping meds? I take trazodone every night for sleep. Been on the same dosage for about 7 years. I never skip a dose (cannot sleep).

Trazodone was developed and used as an antidepressant before being used as a sleep aid. I suspect because of this it works in a different way than a typical sleeping pill.

It's a dual dosage med - whatever that term is. In low doses it puts you to sleep. In high doses it makes you less depressed.
