Doc says they want to try me on trazadone now

Anyone have any comments on it?

I was prescribed it for sleep, didn’t help.

Never heard of it

My best friend takes 50mg for sleep, I took 200mg. It worked a little, but made me sick the next morning. I think you need to adjust to it, for like a week. Is your problem insomnia?

I think they’re trying to treat my sleep problems, yeah. I have a thing where i’ll go to sleep and be half conscious all night long, i’ll toss and turn and it’s horrible. I also only feel half awake a lot

I take 100mg a night and it works like a charm. Before taking Trazadone, I would sleep maybe a couple of hours a night. Now, I’m sleeping closer to 8 hours. Give it a try and hopefully you’ll have a positive outcome with it.

Best of luck!

Trazodone seems to affect people differently. For some people 50 will put them into a deep sleep for twenty hours. It does nothing to me. I once took 4500 mg of Trazodone, and it did nothing to me. Apparently I am immune to any amount of that drug.

Very old anti-depressant with a high side effect profile for sedation and drying of mucosia. Commonly used to help pts with anxieties get to sleep in the short term in the '90s. Too anticholinergic (and mucosia drying) to be used along with many other anti-C psych meds for many (tho not all) pts.

I am on it currently. 50mg per night. I know this sounds unscientific, but it helped me with my avolition the day after. Honestly. It wore off a few weeks later though. I have not increased it.

It hasn’t been bad for sleep after I took a medication for anger issues that antidepressants cause me. It also has helped my mood some. I can’t tell you what side effects it causes since I take so many medications but it doesn’t seem to do anything really terrible.
