Trazodone as a sleep med

Tried it once, really effective. I had the most vivid weird dream

I think I took Trazodone minimum, 50 mg?

I think if a person uses melatonin, less is more. Too much melatonin can cause insomnia. 100 mcg to 1 mg per night would be reasonable range. The human body produces only 1 mg but less with age.

@robertc , I started with the lowest dose of melatonin. Then each month I went up in dose until I got to the highest dose of 10 mg. It simply doesn’t work for me.

At first I was resistant to taking trazadone but eventually I warmed up to it. I take one and a half 150 mg pills but part of the acceptance was learning that I wouldn’t always get perfect sleep but at least would usually consistently get at least some sleep.

I’m glad it helps you a bit. I took 100 mg last night. It was really hard to fall asleep still but once I was asleep, I slept well for a few hours. I’ll stay at that dose a while.
