How much trazadone were you using? The first time I took it, I took 25 mg and slept 12 hours. The next night it wasn't quite so bad. After another few nights, the morning grogginess wore off more easily.

Neurontin worked well for sleep for me for a while. I had some morning grogginess the first couple of days but then it got better.

What about amitriptyline?

And when I was on Cymbalta, I slept like a baby. Even though I took it in the morning.
