Evaluation of sleep pattern in insomnia in benzodiazepine users and analysis of trazodone as a substitute medication

Conclusion Prolonged release trazodone has been shown to be a therapeutic option for chronic insomnia patients with benzodiazepines with effective withdrawal of the anxiolytic drug. There was improvement in sleep quality by questionnaire and polysomnography. More patients will be needed to determine the benefits of trazodone in this type of intervention.
