Brief Answer:
Low dose trazodone can be used

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.

I read your query and understand your concerns.

Although there are multiple options to knock you out in afternoon but I think trazodone will make best choice considering different diagnosis you received till date and current symptoms.

I often use 25 to 50 mg to start with in adult patients and rarely go to 100 mg per day to see the complete effects.

I hope this helps you.
Feel free to write back to me if you have more questions.
Thanks and regards.
