Desyrel (trazodone): I am taking 200mg a night for sleep for a little over a year. No problems except when I miss a nightly dose, I feel hung over the next day. Recently, I have been waking with a headache. I am going to cut my dosage down by 25mg and see if that will help. My worry is to have an uncomfortable withdrawal period.

trazodone: I have bipolar disorder and schizophrenia so I know what medical side effects are all about. My doctor prescribed me trazadone to help me fall asleep. I am on 100mg. It works miracles for falling asleep, however in the morning, I cannot wake up. If I try and force myself to wake up, my limbs barely move and I cannot hold myself up. I could not even get out of bed.

trazodone: I have taken this for three years, It has been a life saver in way of keeping me calm and relaxing me over all. I will take 100mg on average for sleep at night, I have also taken throughout the day to keep a stable mood. It has helped with depression and aiding well in sleep. You have to find the right dose for yourself though everyone will have a different reaction to different mg doses, the most common dose I have seen across the board has been 75mg at bedtime.

Desyrel (trazodone): I actually was taking this through high school because of depression and severe insomnia and it worked wonders. As I got older though, I stopped taking it and recently the sleep problems have started back up again. My doctor gave me 100 mg tabs of trazadone (the generic) and I had really bad headaches when I woke up in the mornings. I think it was because when I was in High School, I was taking between 25-50mg. Bought a pill splitter and I split the 100mg tablets into quarters and take 1-2 of them to equal the approximate dose of 25-50mg I was taking. So far so good and I haven't had the headaches so far...been doing this for a couple days so far.

trazodone: Trazadone did knock me out instantly and I slept good all night. Only problem is I was having violent nightmares when I took it so I had to stop.

trazodone: I went and saw my doctor yesterday about my problem getting to sleep and staying asleep. I had assumed she would prescribe Ambien but instead she prescribed this 50mg of Trazodone. I took it for the first time last night and I have to say I was out within half an hour but I did wake several times in the night but luckily was able to fall right back to sleep. I did experience slight dry mouth which was to be expected. I'm hoping it continues to work good and hopefully tonight I wont wake up so often. The doctor did say that when I see her again in 2 weeks she can always up the dose...so we'll see.

Desyrel (trazodone): I had been taking 30 mg of temazepam but after getting out of the hospital recently I have not been able to sleep. My psychiatrist added trazodone 100 mg tablets.
This is a moderate dose and has helped tremendously. The only downside to use of trazodone as treatment for insomnia is the early morning hangover, especially during the first few days of therapy.
It's not addictive, you WILL go to sleep, just take a little time.

trazodone: I have been taking Trazodone for a few years. I had bad anxiety and a lot of trouble sleeping. It definitely helped me sleep. I had to stop taking it for both pregnancies. I will go back on it as soon as I'm done nursing.

Desyrel (trazodone): I take a 50 mg Desyrel at night, about 10 min before I'm ready to go to sleep. I have been on it for 5 years, with no side effects. I used to not be able to stay asleep. Now, I sleep like a baby. I also take Zoloft in conjunction with Trazodone.

trazodone: I was prescribed this drug to help me sleep. I am on EMSAM for an antidepressant and it keeps me awake at night. I found that Trazodone works well for sleep, but aching muscles and bones has made the drug just not worth it for me.

trazodone: I was prescribed Trazodone for insomnia. I have been taking it for about 4 months now and it doesn't seem to be doing anything for me. I am still up all night. Does anyone else taking Trazodone feel like this is happening to them?
