User Reviews for Trazodone

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?

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 have taken Trazodone for yrs in conjunction w/ Paxil. I was given the Trazodone for insomnia and it works for me. I take it at bed time and I am alseep within 15min. Generally I sleep throughout the night as well.

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 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 used trazodone for more than a year. It's a miracle drug. I stay asleep and feel rested. 50mg in the day time and 150mg at night.

trazodone: I was given this drug 2 years ago for insomnia after withdrawal from drug/alcohol abuse. This drug has changed me so much I don't ever want to get off of it. I take 100-150mg every night experiencing deep sleep with weird dreams that I like. A calm hungover feeling in the morning which dissipates into just a calmness for the rest of the day. I think well, have lowered anxiety, and a positive feeling toward life. If you really want to be your old self you can still muster it from within when needed though, then return back to the comfortable altered state afterward when you want to.

trazodone: I'm a retired U.S.Marine and have been having trouble with sleeplessness and nightmares from service related issues. My doctor first prescribed Amitriptyline (Elavil) and I became an angry monster. She switched me to Trazodone, 25mg at bedtime and it has greatly helped with sleep and the depression. It has also helped with controlling my emotions. I have also been alcohol free for over 8 months now with no intentions of drinking again. It's helped me with several issues and I would highly recommend you inquire with your doctor about trying it if you're having any of the problems I have experienced.

trazodone: My daughter started taking Trazodone several months ago for nightime migraines/sleep and they seem to be working well. I have just started taking trazodone for REM nightmares and sleep/wakeness.

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.

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.

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.

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: I have only been on Trazodone for a cpl of weeks. My Dr. gave it to me to help me sleep.

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.

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 taken Trazodone 150mg for 5 years. It has been a God send for me. I have chronic pain that would keep me up all night. Also my head would not stop working overtime and I had trouble falling asleep. Now I am asleep within 20 minutes and I wake at night with no problem getting back to sleep.

trazodone: The doctor prescribed 100mg nightly for sleeplessness. I found I could fall asleep within 5-10 minutes (no more bedtime TV) and sleep wonderfully, waking up alert, feeling great, ready to go. However, sometime around noon each day I'd find my eyes getting blurry (no more reading). I cut the dosage down to 50mg, same thing happened. I cut it down to 25mg nightly and I still fell asleep in 5-10 minutes, stayed asleep, awoke refreshed and raring to go, and VOILA, no blurry eyes. Trazodone is a wonder.

trazodone: Was prescribed trazodone to help with sleep problems but actually woke me up a bit. After a week of using I began to feel very depressed.

Desyrel (trazodone): I have been on trazodone for about five years, ever since I was going through a nasty downward spiral due to my personal situation at the time and couldn't sleep for three days/nights in a row. The doctor who prescribed it for me was an "old-time" doc who wasn't into unnecessary medication (or any, most of the time) but saw there was a need that day with me. The fact that it was also an antidepressant was also a plus (but ultimately it wasn't effective enough on its own for that purpose). Taking trazodone at night (50mg) plus 1/2 a typical Ambien pill helps me sleep a good five or six hours straight--beats the way I used to sleep and thought was normal for most of my life; waking up every two or three hours.

trazodone: Been on trazadone for 2 weeks and I feel amazing. I realize that my life before was a struggle, now I sleep like a baby and feel great. My joy for life has returned. Trazodone is amazing.
