User Reviews for Trazodone

trazodone: Started taking Trazodone a couple of weeks ago. No side effects and thought it was going to be great that I might actually sleep. I did the first few nights, but now I'm back to insomnia. I'm only on 50mg, so maybe I just need a higher dose.

trazodone: I have been taking this medication for the last 3-4 days for my ongoing sleeping problems. I was taking various other sleeping medications in the past and I recently saw my psych doctor and he wanted me to try trazodone out again and I started off at 300mg and that was way too much so they cut the dose down to 150 milligrams at bedtime and usually after 30-45 after taking it I am so tired I have to go to bed.

trazodone: Started with Trazodone last year to help with insomnia didn't need it every night, just taken as needed per the doctor. Started having issues with sleeping again last week took bottle out it hasn't expired yet so I figured I would try it again. I also take citalopram for depression, found an added benefit to the trazodone that didn't happen before and that was a major improvement in my mood and a better ability to focus, most likely because I sleep so soundly now, but the only side effect I'm having is muscle stiffness in different areas of my body, on a very low dose so I hope with continued use it will go away. Anyway it has been a wonder drug for me. Still feel a little groggy in the morning, and no headaches.

trazodone: I am currently taking 50mg of Trazodone and my husband is taking 100mg of Trazodone. It works great for both of us and it is very inexpensive. You must take this drug a half hour before bed and wind down with a book or whatever works for you. We both get a good seven hours of sleep. You might feel groggy in the morning but once you are up it goes away quickly. If we don't take it we wake up every hour or so.

trazodone: This medication at 50mg wasn't working well for my insomnia. It worked sometimes but was that just fatigue from a sleepless night before. My MD increased to 100 and I started to get mean and sometimes violent with my spouse. I did not take it on a regular basis because it gave me really bad the dry mouth. I do not take it anymore because of the hostility. I have read through all the threads and only 1 other person had that effect. Maybe it is because I am on Lexapro for depression. He switched me to Xanax which works but do not like it because it is easily addicting.

trazodone: It works with little side effects.

trazodone: Kept me up all night. Was restless and nervous . Did not help my insomnia at all.

Desyrel (trazodone): I took my first dose last night, and I have felt like I have had a bad hang-over all day. Maybe I should take half the doage until I get use to this.

trazodone: Trazadone works well for my insomnia and does not leave me feeling with a hangover the next day.

trazodone: I started taking trazodone 4 weeks ago for insomnia, and I now I sleep like an angel. One time I doubled up my prescription and I woke up with a dry mouth in the night, walked upstairs to get a drink and I dopped and smashed the glass, without getting any water I walked back down the stairs and went back to bed. I woke up and saw the smashed glass on the floor without having any recollection of it. But I love trazodone.

trazodone: I have been taking Ambien for 5 years. My doctor sent me to sleep therapy. I have a mild case of Apnea. I could not stand the machine so she just prescribed Trazodone. I took 100MG first night. Could not function next day and woke every 2 hours. Took 50MG last night and am better today and was awake every 2 hours but could fall back to sleep. I am going to try 25MG tonight.

trazodone: Trazadone does a wonderful job of letting me sleep. I'm very happy using it

trazodone: I've been using Trazadone for about four years now. Am taking 100mg. Within an hour of taking it, I'm asleep. Sometimes, not often, it's not effective and I have to double up on the dose.

trazodone: Had an allergic reaction. Didn't help me sleep. Only used for three days.

trazodone: I primarily use this medication for sleep and it works great for that. Once you take it, be ready to go bye bye. It works so well but I also find it hard to get up in the morning. Clearly it does its job a little too well. It is also supposed to help a little with depression which is also why My doctor prescribed it to me and so far my mother says that she see's that I'm a little happier but I don't personally feel any different.

trazodone: I had horrible insomia and this took care of it 98%. It was a life saver.

trazodone: I have tried a number of herbs, supplements, OTC and prescription medications for insomnia, including hops, passionflower, valerian, kava kava, melatonin, GABA, 5-HTP, L-tryptophan, Benadryl, Unisom, Klonopin, Ativan, and Ambien, and have found that trazodone is the best for me. The herbs and supplements weren't strong enough, melatonin gave me horrible nightmares, OTC sleep aids made me too drowsy the next day, and the benzos and Ambien stopped working. I take 50 mg of trazodone before bed and fall asleep in about half an hour. It's true I am a bit drowsy the next morning but it soon goes away and the drowsiness is less intense than the drowsiness from the other kinds of medicines I have tried. Trazodone is also very inexpensive.

trazodone: I've spent my whole life not able to sleep at night. Been taking 25mg of Trazodone at bedtime for over a year. I am asleep within 30 minutes and sleep until my alarm goes off usually 8 hours. If I do not take the pill at night it takes at least an hour to fall asleep and I wake up each hour or two. The only side effect I have is feeling a little nauseous in the morning but I think this would subside if I took the pill with food as suggested. Sometimes if I really have a hard time sleeping I take another 25 mg and I am out. I recommend this to anyone who has problem sleeping.

trazodone: I have been taking Trazodone for 15 years. It was prescribed because Prozac caused me to have insomnia. 100 mg works quite well for the first 5 hours but if I get up around that time, I'm not able to go back to sleep without taking another 50mg. I have not been taking Prozac for 10 years. I would like to stop the Trazodone.

Desyrel (trazodone): I have taken trazadone for the last ten years for insomnia and depression associated with a 100% disabled PTSD diagnosis. I have found no reason to change my prescription other than to lower the dosage from 300mg to 150mg which I find adequate, to accomplish its intended use.

trazodone: I have been taking trazodone for over 7 years. Was prescribed for insomnia and as long as I take it, it's fantastic. Sleep like a baby. Takes about an hour for it to work and will cause nausea on an empty stomach. If I don't go to bed within an hour of taking this medicine, I will be staggering around running into walls, furniture, etc. Tried many different sleep meds and this one was the only one that worked for me. I believe it has also provided benefits with treatment for depression and anxiety, although never formally diagnosed.

Desyrel (trazodone): It worked for me! Had to keep increasing dosage about every other month. Wasn't putting me out like it was in the beginning. Started out at 75mg, now I'm at 200.

trazodone: I have been taking trazodone since 1999, to sleep. Due to my panic disorder and depression that is caused by my panic attack I could not sleep. Went to hospital in 1999, was admitted and my life changed. I was put on Paxil 30mg, Xanax 0.5mg 3 times a day and trazodone 100mg at night. I have had no problem with this drug at all, no side effects. Tried to sleep without it a few times and I could not. It works great for me and always has. At night before I started trazodone I could not breath cause of my panic I would lay my head off the bed just to breath now I take one at night and I am asleep within a half an hour and I sleep for 8 hrs.

Desyrel Dividose (trazodone): This drug is a very mild, but effective drug. It can be used for long periods. I find it works hit and miss, but I need to take doses throughout the night.

trazodone: Just started taking this medicine, and so far I have sleeplessness. Sometimes it works, sometimes it don't.
