I take Trazodone, Seroquel, Melatonin and Klonipin and they all help me to sleep beautifully. And I need that much too.

That’s quite a Cocktail. I think that would knock a small horse out

I had side effects that scared me…but it worked for a long time when i took it. I took 3 years. The side effect was dyskinesia after 3 years. That’s why i stopped it. i stopped taking trazodone, the diskinesia stopped.

I took it for two years, 200 mg. It worked nicely until I went through a really bad manic patch.

I used it for a year, then got restless legs from it.

Well I use to take it back when I was on other meds and it made me paranoid and restless legs like you.

I take the larger part of my Trilafon (Perphenazine) at night because it is calming. I take my Bone-all at night time because it is full of Calcium, which is calming. I take a small dose a Trazadone and a subclinical dose of Seroquel to get to sleep. It usually works great.

If I don’t get to sleep, I get restless leg syndrome, for which I have a PRN of Cogentin (Benztropine). After I take the Cogentin, then I fall asleep.

Once asleep, I sleep for a long time . . .

Yes, I had bad restless leg from it which sucked because it really helped with sleep. If I take it I have to take a gabapentin too for the restless legs. Hydroxyzine works better for me or clonodine, but that lowers your blood pressure.
