I had visit with my psychiatrist this morning

He has told me I’m a bit worse and he has prescribed me Deprax (Trazodone) to sleep better because I haven’t slept good the last two weeks. So tonight I’ll take my first pill of Deprax. My psychiatrist has told me I can stop Deprax if it doesn’t work.

How much Trazodone did he prescribe for sleep?

Trazadone is great for sleep, plus there isn’t really any hangover.

I was given 200mg at the time, but I was also having issues with mania.
50mg would do the trick for me now.

For some people 50 mg of Trazodone puts them into a deep sleep for twenty hours. For others, almost any amount of it as no effect on them.

I’m sorry you’re not sleeping well. Sleep affects so much. That’s great you have help for it now, Katherine85! I hope it helps you!

Do you like your psychiatrist?

Yes. I like my psychiatrist. He is so comprehensive and I think he understands me so good. He is a very good doctor.

That’s awesome! Happy for you!

Good luck @Katherine85!
Hope you get some sleep.

There have been times when that was exactly what I wanted, and it wasn’t because I was sleepy. It was more because I was hypomanic.

The first couple of nights on trazodone really sedate you during the day, but it’s not like a antipsychotic sedation if that makes any sense
