For @Anonim: Trazodone is an inhibitor of serotonin reuptake and blocks 5-HT2 receptors, the activation of which usually leads to insomnia, anxiety and psychomotor agitation. Excessive drowsiness is one of the side effects of the drug, which often appears in the first days of treatment and usually resolves with further use. The exact frequency with which this effect occurs in patients using Trazodone is not specified.
Thank you for your answer, but I'm more interested in whether these pills work so much on most and what does it mean that a person feels weak after them all day? , I don't think I'll take them anymore, because they literally cut off their feet, as if they worked not only overnight, but also all day.

Zolpic is a preparation indicated for the short-term treatment of insomnia in adults. It can not be used for a long time, because it causes habituation. Trazodone, on the other hand, will not work immediately. In this case, the clinical response is usually achieved within 2-4 weeks. If the drug did not bring the expected results, I encourage you to make an appointment with the attending physician, who will adjust the treatment according to your current clinical condition. If you are unable to get to your primary care doctor, the gdziepolek.pl service also allows you to obtain a teleconsultation with your doctor: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/telekonsultacja I attach additional information that may be helpful: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/skuteczne-sposoby-na-stres https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/bezsennosc
